2 Globalisation and Connectivity Globalisation is nothing if it is not about connections: Economic, social, cultural. People, things, ideas. Tangible and intangible. Known and unknown. One of its defining attributes is the predominance of trade and trading: In things. In people. In capital. And one of its greatest challenges is whether this trade leads to social and economic development.

3 Financial capital: money, in all its forms. Economic capital: what gets bought with the money. Social (overhead) capital: society’s infrastructure. Human capital: people and their potential. Natural capital: Everything not produced by humans. TODAY ONLY! Who’s worth what, where, when, how and why?

4 Who’s Worth What? Global GDP in Millions of Current Dollars 2012 Where?How much?In words… World$72,440,448($72.440 trillion) United States (1 st )$16,244,600($16.244 trillion) Canada (10 th )$1,821,424($1.821 trillion) Sub-Saharan Africa$1,307,585($1.307 trillion) Low income$504,431($0.504 trillion) Lower middle income$4,823,542($4.823 trillion) Middle income$22,249,908($22.249 trillion) High income$49,717,633($49.633 trillion) http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/

10 Capital Flows, Trade & Development 10

11 Globalisation and Connectivity Globalisation is about connections. It is about how national economies are woven into a global economy. This happens in large part through flows of capital: From nation to nation. From person to person. Through and between TNCs.

12 Global Capital & Development Components of capital flows: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Exports and Imports Worker Remittances Trade, and Financial flows Capital flows: Weave a web of development or dependency. Drive the global economy, like it or not. Creates connectivity, possibly more than anything else. Does globalisation, through capital flows, improve people’s lives?

13 Some Definitions Development refers to the qualitative aspect of the growth in a nation – how is wealth translated into quality of life? Not all economic growth leads to economic development (as when the benefit of growth – money – gets filtered into the profits of TNCs, the pockets of a very few wealthy nationals, corruption, or into military spending). And not all development requires western style economic growth, though in the complete absence of wealth not much can be achieved except exquisite levels of misery.

14 Dependency refers to the situation in which a nation/region loses control of its economic, political, and often, national/regional, autonomy due to external demands from other nations or IGOs to follow their policies in order to meet externally determined goals. Like living at your parents’ home as an adult, you are dependent on your parent’s largesse and governed by their rules. Living With Parents - Dependency

15 Usually coupled with this is the dependency that arises from one or more of: Facing a monopsony or oligopsony. Facing a product value-added differential. Facing an already well developed global market place. The bottom line is that, by definition, being dependent means losing independence, which all nations have to do to a point but some must do to a fault – usually through no fault of their own. All nations must trade to survive, and even careful ones can find themselves overtaken by circumstances that at first may appear for the best. Foreign direct investment is one of these two edged swords.

16

17 Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) FDI is one of the most important roads to development but often to dependency as well. FDI is the capital (money and/or infrastructure) that one nation invests in another nation. Globalisation is about the integration and homogenisation of global economies and two things indicate this most strongly: Has there been increasing FDI between economies, especially in the developing world? Has there been increasing trade? 17

18 Types of Foreign Direct Investment PRIVATE SOURCES: Investment made by transnational corporations (TNCs) investing in companies in a foreign nation, and… Worker’s remittances, or the money that individuals send back to their families in their home countries from the countries in which they work. PUBLIC: Comes from predominantly GOs, IGOs, INGOs and may be direct investment, aid, or loans, debt relief. Shares have changed dramatically since 1970 when private and public were about equal. Now they are about 95% private with 28% as worker remittances. 18

Developed economies are doing the most foreign investing. Developing economies are getting the most investment.

20 Developed nations have the highest inflows and outflows, but levels are declining. Developing nations have the lower flows, but levels are increasing.

21 FDI Inflows as a Percent of GDP, 1990-2012 Indicates the integration of global economies as FDI weaves developed and developing economies together. UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2013 (http://unctad.org/en/Pages/DIAE/World%20Investment%20Report/Annex-Tables.aspx) Flows may be higher to and from developed nations, but the proportion of GDP affected is about the same.

22 PRICE TO PAY? Overall steady increase in # of policies favorable to FDI (such as free trade, reduced health and safety regulations). Policy Changes Related to FDI 1992-2008 UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2013 (http://unctad.org/en/Pages/DIAE/World%20Investment%20Report/Annex-Tables.aspx)

23 23 Private FDI has increased from about 50% to almost 70% since 1970, with worker remittances accounting for about 28%. Public capital flows have decreased substantially to less than 10% Capital Flows to Developing Countries 1970-2004 UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2013 (http://unctad.org/en/Pages/DIAE/World%20Investment%20Report/Annex-Tables.aspx)

24 Summary: Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) Globalisation is about the integration and homogenisation of global economies and two things indicate this most strongly: Has there been increasing FDI flows between economies, especially in the developing world? Answer: Yes, substantially so. Now we will look at the next question: Has there been increasing trade? 24

25

26 Trade If economies have been integrating through foreign investment, as globalisation suggests that it has, then one of the things they must also do is trade – otherwise dependency ensues. Trade is measured by looking at imports, exports and the net balance between them. Questions would be: Have imports and exports grown as a medium of integration? Are imports a growing share of GDP? Are exports correlated with FDI? 26

27 Obvious increase in merchandise trade for all economies in relation to production – 17% to 49% of GDP. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/

28 Exports as a Percentage of GDP 1961-2012 (based on constant 2005 US Dollars) http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ Upward trend in ratio of exports to GDP indicates growing importance of trade in relation to production.

29 Value of Exports and FDI Inflows 1990 - 2012 UNCTAD, World Investment Report 2013 (http://unctad.org/en/Pages/DIAE/World%20Investment%20Report/Annex-Tables.aspx) and http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/http://unctad.org/en/Pages/DIAE/World%20Investment%20Report/Annex-Tables.aspx Relationship between FDI and exports is very strong (r=0.904). Both have been growing but the magnitude of FDI much lower than that of exports.

31 Trade Summary Questions would be: Have imports and exports grown as a medium of integration? Yes, to a significant degree. Are imports a growing share of GDP? Yes, almost doubling as a share of GDP Are exports correlated with FDI? Very high correlations exist between exports and FDI, illustrating that FDI and increased trade are integrating the economies of many parts of the world. But not all. 31

33 What it is and what is does Corporations: Are legal persons with your rights and privileges. Have immunities and limited liability (you don’t). Can access huge amounts of resources. Have far reaching international territories. Control lobby groups and hence politicians and parties. Control media. Own legal firms. Create think tanks. Create research institutes.

34 Dartmouth College against Woodward, 4 Wheat. Rep. 626, 1819, Chief Justice Marshall: [A corporation is] “…an artificial being, invisible, intangible, and existing only in contemplation of law. Being the mere creature of law, it possesses only those properties which the charter of its creation confers upon it, [emphasis added] either expressly or as incidental to its very existence. These are such as are supposed best calculated to effect the object for which it was created.” Landmark case that set the stage for the rise of corporations in the United States. The Legal Case

35 "They have no soul to save, and they have no body to incarcerate.“ Baron Thurlow. “Corporation: An ingenious device for obtaining profit without individual responsibility.” Ambrose Bierce. The Legal Case

36 Who’s Who Shareholders: Own the company by owning shares. Vote according to how many shares they own. Seek to maximise their returns on their investment. Are protected against liability. Managers: Must run the company according to the wishes of the shareholders and terms of the company charter. Are required by law to maximise returns to the shareholders, which usually means profits. Break the law if they pursue any action contrary to the ROI principle. Are protected against liability.

37 Externalities The cost or benefit incurred by a party who did not choose to incur that cost or benefit. Externalities can be positive or negative but negative externalities are the single most significant corporate social impact on society. Corporations exist to maximise profits by maximising sales and minimising cost per unit. ‘Externalising’ costs minimises them to zero, and some costs are easier to externalise than others. Even costs as basic as waste disposal, health and safety can be externalised.

38 How it all works… Corporations seek to externalize costs, but… Externalities impact society, so… Regulation controls externalities and … Government controls regulation and … Democracy elects government, therefore… People regulate externalities. However by… Partnering, lobbying, moving, threatening, persuading, bribing, corporations seek to control government and … Thus seek to control regulation, thereby… Increasing impact of externalities on people. The larger the corporation and the wider its reach, the better it can externalise costs. Enter the transnational…

39 The Nature of the Transnational Corporation (TNC) Corporations require free flows of the factors of production to optimise their profits and externalise their costs. The transnational corporation has managed to externalise many of its costs by internalising its flows. For example, taxes (a cost) on earnings that are reinvested can be externalised because they are not paid by the corporation. Pollution that is not regulated is a cost that is not paid by the corporation. In both cases they do eventually get paid – by people.

40 Defining Transnationalism “Reaching beyond or transcending national boundaries.” First used in the early part of the 20 th century. Internationalism deals with relationships between nations where territorial boundaries are respected because they have to be. Transnationalism deals with the interrelationships between and through entities regardless of territorial boundaries. Concept is most useful in regard to the actions of the corporation who can: Internalise control and earnings; Reallocate resources within the TNC; Influence domestic political decision making; Guide foreign policy in the TNCs ‘ best interests.

45 How Many and Where? The following data explores how many companies exist and where they are, as well as some of their effects on the global economy. Much of this information is extremely difficult to obtain with any accuracy. We’ll look at: Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) data (related to FDI). Trends in ISO rated companies Size of TNCs and their connections to nations.

46 The ISO 150 national standards organizations from around the world. Oversees 15,000+ national standards regulations. Grants the right to certify companies with the 9001:2000, 14000, 16949:2002, and 13485:2003 certificates. Certificates verify that the companies bearing them are safe to deal with. Growth in nations seeking ISO membership and companies wanting certification has grown very quickly.

103 Progress of a Global Crisis - Globally Globally: - Money markets seized up as banks refused to lend to banks - Five European Banks failed, including Iceland’s national bank - House prices decreased by 34% - Household indebtedness reached unprecedented levels - IMF estimates @ $1.9 trillion in losses on SPM caper - Bank losses on credit about $760 billion - Losses on demise of investment banks at about $13 trillion - Credit growth slowed to @1%, down from post war high of 9% - This means about a 1.5% decrease in economic growth - IMF believes that credit could shrink by 7.3% in US≈ 11% decrease in economic growth 6.3% in UK≈ 9.5% decrease in economic growth 4.5% in EU≈ 6.75% decrease in economic growth Most remarkable, the derivatives paper bubble that precipitated the worst global economic crisis since the Great Depression is estimated to have been valued at about $400 trillion in 2008 some 13 times the global GNP

104 By Dec 2008 global banking crisis reached same levels as those of the Great Depression. Household indebtedness in US and UK rose to unprecedented levels, averaging a non- mortgage value of $23K per household.
