THEORIES OF GLOBAL STRATIFICATION 


GLOBAL STRATIFICATION

For much of human history, all of the societies on earth were poor, poverty was the norm for everyone but obviously, that is not the case anymore. Just as you find stratification among socioeconomic classes within a society like the Philippines, you would also see across the world a pattern of global stratification with inequalities in wealth and power between societies.

 

MODERNIZATION THEORY

• One of the two main explanations for global stratification

• This theory frames global stratification as a function of technological

and cultural differences between nations

 

DEPENDENCY THEORY

 

• Is the condition in which the development of the nation

• States of the South contributed to a decline in their dependence and to an increase in economic development of the countries of the North (Cardoso and Felato, 1979)

• Was initially developed by Hans Singer and Raul Prebisch in the 1950s and has been improved since then

Blog about Global Stratification Affects the Life Cycle

Global Stratification Depending on their place in the global hierarchy, people in various countries have different access to resources and opportunities, as well as different living standards. For most of human history, many of the world's economies were weak, and poverty was the rule for everyone, but that is no longer the case. Global Stratification Affects the Life Cycle   • First, some sociologists argue that poor countries remain poor because they hang on to traditional attitudes and values, technology, and structures, such as traditional economic systems and forms of government, based on a theory of growth and modernization. Broad economic development, according to modernists, is the secret to reducing poverty in developing countries. • Second, dependency theory blames colonialism and neocolonialism (continuing economic dependence on former colonial countries) for global poverty. Countries have developed at an uneven rate because wealthy countries have exploited p...

Blog about How can we “upgrade” our economy given the strength of the global economy, especially the giant economies like the United States and Japan

THE MODERN WORLD – SYSTEM   The modern world-system is a capitalist world-economy which is the geohistorical system in which we live. The basic geohistory is that it was constructed in Europe in the ‘long’ 16th century, it expanded to cover the whole world by C.1900 (i.e destroying all other systems), and will meet its demise in the 21st century.   Some ways to upgrade the global economy are: THE UNITED STATES AND JAPAN   The world's two most strong economies are the United States and Japan. The United States has the highest deficit and debt burden in the world. Japan is the biggest borrower and surplus nation on the planet. The dollar-yen exchange rate has fluctuated wildly, rising from 360:1 in 1971 to 80:1 in early 1995 before falling to about 130:1 today. Over the last three decades, trade frictions have undermined the global trading system's stability, leading to extreme steps such as the United States' import surcharge in 1971 and Japan's accepta...
