Abstract

Globalization is a two-sided coin. It seems that for every problem it solves, it creates a new one. On the other hand, for many of the problems it creates, it can enable a solution. To call globalization a positive force for the environment because it can fix the problems that globalization itself created or exacerbated would be too generous, but I do believe that the empowerment that globalization brings will ultimately prove to be the key to getting the Earth out of the mess it's in today.

According to Jared Diamond in Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed, "Globalization means nothing more than improved worldwide communications, which can convey many things in either direction; globalization is not restricted to good things carried only from the First to the Third world [p. 517]."
