Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.

From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Abstract
This paper explains that there is a vast difference between the economic problems of the global South countries and the relative economic success of the global North countries. When examining the problems in the global South, the author stresses the many problem areas that plague the region. The paper then points out that the global North states have surplus economies, which could be of great assistance to the global South. The paper concludes that the prosperous global North helping the global South is a win-win situation for all countries.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"With economic assistance from the Global North the Global South would be able to add to the global economy and with global trade become not only a participant of the global economy but a profitable one as well. The key issue is enabling the countries of the Global South to begin to profitably produce and export domestic products. Sudan, a very well know poverty riddled country, is able to produce tin but without the proper resources it has been exporting the tin at a minimal gain, nearly a loss."

Abstract
This paper discusses how globalization affects and perpetuates divisions between the rich and the poor in the global community. More specifically, the paper examines the consequences of disproportionate exchanges of investment and people between different parts of the world. It links this discussion to concepts such as spatial interaction, scale, human/nature relationships and to the linkages between globalization and items such as space, place and landscape. The paper specifically analyzes the nation of Thailand and how it encapsulates the dilemmas and contradictions which comprise the phenomenon of globalization.

From the Paper
"Briefly, as time permits, it would be remiss if a few minutes were not given over to how globalization impacts women even more so than men. As mentioned in the preceding paragraph, the destruction of local economies by the massive forces of globalization hits women especially hard - and, because it is hard enough for these women to get work to begin with, the feminization of poverty often follows (Seong-Won, para.2). Further, given how increases in acute poverty often spark increases in suicides and in crime rates (Seong-Won, para.2) - and given how women in developing lands are especially vulnerable to falling into acute poverty and every bit as vulnerable to the depredations of crime - it is impossible to argue against the contention that globalization saves its harshest punishment for the women of global south nations who are already on the bottom rungs of society to begin with."

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of the ways that globalization is affecting the nations of South America. The writer focuses on the environmental issues and how globalizing is affecting them as well as the issue of the Indians that are being displaced and culturally challenged through the process of globalization.

From the Paper
"The last decade of globalization has seen the process kicked into high gear. With most of the land on the planet spoken for, and space no longer viewed as the last frontier the race is on to compete for power in the process of globalization. Technological as well as political advances have caused nations world wide to compete for the integration or blending of cultures, industry and people. For the most part globalization is viewed in a positive light with very few negative aspects. Technology has allowed people around the world to blend their talents in the effort to strengthen their business ties and abilities and in the end make the world a better place. There is one area however, that is being threatened in the race to globalize. The environmental issues of the South American nations are multiplying with each globalization victory."

Abstract
This paper begins with a brief description of the country of South Korea, including area size, population, culture, economy and neighbouring regions. The paper then continues with a discussion of the impact of globalisation on South Korea and the part South Korea plays in the global economy. The writer comments on the overall effects of South Korea's relationship with its northern adversary, North Korea and how this impacts on the globalisation of its economy.

From the Paper
"South Korea is found on the southern tip of the Korean peninsula, sharing its only border with North Korea. Other neighbours are Japan, 200 kilometres across Korea Strait, as well as China and Russia only a few hundred kilometres to its north. South Korea's total land area is 98,190 sq km and total population of 48,289,037. Its natural resources include coal, tungsten, graphite, molybdenum, lead, hydropower potential, and Korea makes $172.6 Billion from exports and spends $160.5 Billion on Imports."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"It should certainly be seen as scarcely surprising that the Korean Peninsula remains steeped in conflict. Indeed, it is a region that was outfitted according to its current model by a state of brutal war. The Korean War was, like so many conditions set in motion on the world stage in the latter part of the 20th century, a repercussion of the events leading up to and occurring during World War II. Occupied by the Japanese at this juncture, the peninsula exited the war in a diminished economic, infrastructural and educational state, leaving it subject to the interests of outside forces. The 38th Parallel became the logistical dividing line, north of which became a Soviet occupied territory and south of which became an American occupied territory. In the years to immediately follow the war, this dividing line would become a flashpoint in the emergent Cold War."

Abstract
Today, in the winter of 2009, many thousands of tourists from northern countries will visit countries of the global south - invariably countries characterized by poverty and deprivation - in search of temporary escapes from the cold of northern climates. This movement is part of the global tourism industry, which is one of the largest transnational industries of the early 21st century. The networks of this industry stretch from the wealthy nations of Europe and North America to nations of the global south ranging from the Caribbean to Southeast Asia. This industry employs millions of people directly or indirectly, with annual revenues in the billions of dollars and for tourist destination nations - for example, Jamaica in the Caribbean - tourism revenues are often the primary source of foreign exchange (Dunn 5).

Abstract
This paper poses a question to students of international affairs concerning the ways in which their course work in the politics of continental crisis in Africa intersects with the social economic and intellectual re-colonization of the global South by the global North. The paper also asks whether or not it is possible to create a non-colonizing engagement with the politics and peoples of the global South as students and intellectuals studying at York University in Canada.

Abstract
This paper discusses the obsolete definitions of "First World", "Second World", and "Third World" countries since the fall of communism, and presents the term that emerged later to replace them, the "North-South Gap". Developed countries in favor of capitalism were labeled "North", while countries with developing economies were labeled "South". The paper challenges the validity of this term, by bringing several detailed examples of countries that prove the definition inadequate. The paper concludes that the "North-South Gap" is losing its meaning due to a rise in global markets and economies.

From the Paper
"A major factor that comes into play when studying a country's economic status is the Gross National Product, also known as the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). This is the annual value of all goods and services "produced" by a nation. According to the World Bank, the 2005 GDP values for the United States, United Kingdom, Austria,
Russia, Singapore, Thailand, Brazil, and India (in millions of USD) are $12,455,068, $2,192,553, $304,527, $763,720, $116,764, $176,602, $794,098 and $785,468, respectively. These figures show that, currently, India and Brazil have a higher GDP than that of Russia or Austria1. Thailand and Singapore are not too far behind with a combined GDP that falls just short of Austria's."

Abstract
This paper argues that globalization is neo-colonialism or a politically correct term for imperialism. The institutions of globalization and its engines, MNCs, and international financial institutes, do promote the oppression and exploitation of the South by the North. However, the paper argues that these countries ultimately participated in their own oppression. They signed the trade treaties, and they participated in the creation of the WTO. To be realistic, it is important to realize that globalization, at least for now, is here to stay. The paper shows, therefore, that it is up to the Third World countries to find the ways and means by which to regain sovereignty or to rebel against their political economic oppression.

From the Paper
"Even though the exploitative nature of MNC operations appears quite clear, not all political economists accept that MNCs do have such power and authority over host economies so as to function as engines of neo-imperialism. Robert Gilpin, for example, argues the issue of MNCs from a statist point of view, claiming that while they may be extremely powerful, they are ultimately less powerful than political systems. In fact, Gilpin states that multinational corporations are shaped by, and do not shape, state politics. This may have been true for a limited time in the sense that it was the political and economic climate of certain countries that gave birth to multinational corporations but, with the growing economic power of MNCs, the relationship changed. It is inarguable that MNCs abuse host economies and exploit the local people and natural resources due to the fact that they have become more powerful than many of the countries they operate in."
