What is Social Globalism?

Social globalism tends to see the existence of a global system, but one which power and wealth are incredibly unevenly distributed throughout the world. The world is often divided, different classes: a small, wealthy class of powerful or “core” states and actors—basically the “developed” or “First World”; a predominantly poor class of weak or “peripheral” states and actors—the “developing” o “Third World”; and a small group of industrializing or “semi-periphery” states and actors—such as India and Brazil. The emphasis is on the international political economy, the dominance of the capitalist system, and the inherent inequalities and dependencies that result for the poor relative to the wealthy that are difficult to change. Social globalists are both extremely pessimistic about the future gave the global system of inequality and injustice; at the same time, they remain optimistic or hopeful that major or radical changes can occur to dramatically increase peace, prosperity, and human development for all.
