Globalization in Kazakhstan (negative factors and benefits)

Globalization provides great opportunities for steady economic growth. To take advantage of them, conditions that favour a modern economy such as production infrastructure and investment in education and science need to be created. Globalization can, however, also threaten stable economic development particularly in small countries with a narrow economic base such as Kazakhstan.

Countries in regional groupings, such as the EU, the NAFTA and the ASEAN, appear to have benefited the most from globalization. Countries like Kazakhstan, however, have had to face increased competition without the capital and technology to do so adequately. At the same time, globalization has positive effects that can be seen through trade. Imports create additional competition but increase the variety of goods available in domestic markets to the benefit of consumers, while producers gain from increased export demand. Trade facilitates restructuring by stimulating the redistribution of resources within a country. It also stimulates the relocation of some productive activities from industrialized to developing countries, which together with the progress in ICT that has led to a sharp increase in trade in services, creates additional opportunities for them.

Countries that have completed the process of modernization most successfully can hope to meet the challenges of globalization, although this is no longer enough. The new era requires taking every opportunity to break into the postindustrial, information society, which means investing in human capital, the main source of innovation. Globalization is an objective process. It is hardly possible to turn back the globalization wheel. The question is how to manage it so that as many people as possible can benefit.
