Glaring Asymmetries of the Globalization: an Analysis oriented to Business Economics

In the present international economic scenario, the ethical evaluation of the relationships between the corporate system and the processes of globalization is a topical matter also strongly related to immigration policies that involves a strong collaboration among the main actors of the economic system represented by companies, non-profit organizations, citizens and public institutions. The basic misunderstanding is the fact that globalization has certainly created wealth in the emerging countries, but has also generated the complete cancellation of industrial districts in many developed countries. The central part of the analysis will try to systematize the glaring asymmetries of the globalization that have generated a present load of uncertainties such as social unrest, economic instability and migration flows out of control: these uncertainties have created a common and widespread anxiety and an “era of uncertainty” in the 21st Century. Following an approach oriented to Business Economics and starting from the relationship between the concepts of globalization, sustainable development and corporate social responsibility, the aim and scope of the paper is to try to propose a theoretical revision of the present paradigms applied to globalization.
