"........Globalization has set in motion a process of far-reaching
change that is affecting everyone. New technology, supported by more
open policies, has created a world more interconnected than ever before.
This spans not only growing interdependence in economic relations -
trade, investment, finance and the organization of production globally -
but also social and political interaction among organizations and
individuals across the world.

 

The potential for good is immense. The growing interconnectivity among
people across the world is nurturing the realization that we are all
part of a global community. This nascent sense of interdependence,
commitment to shared universal values, and solidarity among peoples
across the world can be channelled to build enlightened and democratic
global governance in the interests of all. The global market economy has
demonstrated great productive capacity. Wisely managed, it can deliver 
unprecedented material progress, generate more productive and better jobs for 
all, and contribute significantly to reducing world poverty.

But we also see how far short we still are from realizing this
potential. The current process of globalization is generating unbalanced
outcomes, both between and within countries. Wealth is being created,
but too many countries and people are not sharing in its benefits. They
also have little or no voice in shaping the process. Seen through the
eyes of the vast majority of women and men, globalization has not met
their simple and legitimate aspirations for decent jobs and a better
future for their children...."
