  1. GLOBALIZATION AND VULNERABILITY Presented by James Mittelman Prepared for SAVI Workshop Maputo, Mozambique 19-21 June 03

  2. Introduction What is the relationship between globalization and vulnerability? Specific questions to explore:  What is globalization?   What is marginalization?   What are the linkages between globalization and marginalization?

  3. Conceptualizing Globalization, a Major Driver of Vulnerability:Three Possibilities • Increasing interconnections • Compression of time and space • An historical transformation in economics, politics, and culture

  4. Conceptualizing Marginalization • A visual sense, as with the outer edge viewed from the center • The economic usage—the point at which the returns from an activity barely cover its costs

  5. My Thesis • Southern Africa is firmly tethered to globalization along certain axes but not others • Following is a research framework for examining major axes

  6. Axes of Globalization • Axis I: Financial Globalization • Axis II: Military Globalization • Axis III: Technological Globalization

  7. Proposed Strategic Responses in Southern Africa • A new regionalism • Civil society and social movements • Educational policies
