今年春天,在国家计委宏观经济研究院举行的国际开发政策研讨会上,日本国际开发高等教育机构国际开发研究所所长高桥一就全球化发展作了主题发言。高桥一指出,全球化带来一些人们难以想象的问题,要解决这些问题,各国要都要花大力气,其中知识和人才是两个最重要的资源。两种全球化高桥一认为有两种全球化。第一种是以市场为中心的全球化。推进这种全球化的主体包括以跨国公司为主体的一些部门、美国政府以及一些如WTO等的国际机构。由于这种以市场为中心的全球化过程是一个快速的过程,所以称它为“快速的全球化过程”。第二种全球化是全球一些机构之间正在进行的各种合作及联系。这些机构包括联合国的一些小机构、世界银行以及一些区域性银行、世界上一些国与国之间的机构组织以及正在不断发展着的发展中国家政府。这些机构和组织之间的这种合作与联系正在形成另一种全球化进程,这种新的全球化进程速度现在还很缓慢,因此称它为“慢速的全球化进程”。 At the seminar on international development policies held by the Macroeconomic Research Institute of the State Planning Commission this spring, Takahashi Takahashi, director of the Institute for International Development of Japan’s International Institute for the Development of Higher Education made a keynote speech on globalization. Takahashi pointed out that globalization has brought some people unimaginable problems. To solve these problems, all countries should make great efforts, of which knowledge and talent are the two most important resources. TWO GLOBALIZATION Takahashi sees two kinds of globalization. The first is market-centered globalization. The main body that promotes this kind of globalization includes some departments that are mainly composed of multinational corporations, the U.S. government and some international agencies such as the WTO. Since this market-centric globalization process is a fast process, it is called “a rapid globalization process.” The second type of globalization is the ongoing cooperation and connection among some of the world’s agencies. These include some of the smaller agencies of the United Nations, the World Bank and a number of regional banks, some of the world’s institutional organizations and countries that are evolving, as well as developing developing country governments. Such cooperation and linkages among these institutions and organizations are forming another type of globalization process. The new globalization process is still at a slow pace. It calls it a “slow globalization process.”
