# Negative global flows
## Aims
To examine "negative globalization"
To consider the impact of these flows on individuals & the planet
---
## Negative globalization
Globalization facilitates the flow of many negatives across borders at great speed
Common examples include:
- Dangerous imports
- Borderless diseases
- Crime
- Terrorism
- War
Involves .violet[flows], .violet[processes], and .violet[structures] (sometimes __intended__, often __unintended__)
---
### Borderless diseases
Diseases crossing borders is not new, but the .violet[speed] and .violet[extent] are in current age
This is particularly affected by the increased movement of people throughout the world (global people flows)
.orange[Uneveness:] Less-developed nations are more likely to suffer and least likely to have access to medications and health care (also true for some poor within rich nations)
--
### Examples
.orange[HIV/AIDS]
- Particularly devastating in Africa
- As with other diseases, the necessary medications available in the North are less accessible in South (i.e. price)
.orange[Flu ] – Number of pandemics, latest bird flu (H7N9)
.orange[Ebola virus] – high death rate, impact usually limited by rapid global response
---
.pull-left[
### Crimes
Globalization linked to an increase in .violet[magnitude] and .violet[value] of cross-border crime
Can include: .green[drugs], .green[money], .green[victims], .green[criminals], .green[stolen] and .green[illegal goods]
Global attention to this flow has also increased
Decreasing power of nation state makes barriers to such flows more difficult
State does retain 保留 power to _define_ what is illegal – with some states able to impose their norms on other parts of the world
]
--
.pull-right[
### Terrorism
.green[Actions that cause death, serious bodily harm, and serious damage to public or private property, places, facilities, or other systems]
Closely related to crime, e.g. financially
Stateless terrorism, e.g. al-Qaeda 基地/蓋達
State-sponsored terrorism
Global aspirations and reach via technologies
Counter-reaction increasingly global
Tactics raise human rights issues: e.g. drone 無人機

## .red[Technology] intensive & .red[Capital] intensive
Distant fishing uses highly specialized vessels:
- powerful
- fast
- wind-resist
- work in icy environment
- Very few countries can actually build this type of ship
--
>明開輪，總噸位7765噸，總長120.7米、船寬19米、型深12.22米、主機功率5300千瓦，日加工能力200噸。1993年由德國製造，在2013年仍保有的紀錄是亞洲最大的拖網漁船。以中國十大漁船標準化型號中的「41.38米鋼質拖網漁船」——長度41.38米，寬度7.2米，型深4.0米，排水量600噸——做為參照。明開輪的排水量是標準化拖網漁船的13倍，遑論外型尺寸的差距。明開輪有足夠的抗風浪能力，處在10級別風浪下，仍然能逆風作業，並且破冰能力強。」
---
### Is it profitable? Some are
---
## .orange[Others are questionable]
---
## China's distant fishing is heavily relying on policy
.violet[Background:] Near-sea fishing resources nearly depleted in recent years. National level policy therefore "encourages" Chinese fisherman go abroad.
--
Because the cost of distant-water fishing is very high, many companies found it hard to make a profit, unless:
>.green[Original:]「柴油補貼意味著你走多遠，就補貼多少，一路走一路補。」
>.green[Translation:] Diesel subsidy means no matter far your ship goes, the subsidy follows it.
--
The kind of policy that encourages seaman to go afar.
---
class: inverse
### China's fast growth in fishing output is a combination of market demand and policy stimulation
---
## Fishing is also labor intensive 勞動力密集
Due to the harsh working conditions, many of the labors working in the industry are .orange[_forced_]
.footnote[Image credit: https://theinitium.com/project/20160825-taiwan-fisheries-web/]
---
### .red[Negative flows]: More than 40,000 Indonesia labor working on Taiwannese fleets in the fishing industry
https://www.twreporter.org/a/far-sea-fishing-tempo-report
---
## .red[Structure]: Global fishing quota
.green[The amount of fish each country could catch in the ocean every year is determined by quota, but more often countries go __over__ the quota limit.]
.footnote[Source: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/faf.12032]
---
## .red[Barrier]: Pirates
Negative flow: more pirates in western Africa & Indian ocean today.
.footnote[Source: https://theinitium.com/article/20161209-taiwan-pirate1/]
---
### With an improved economy, more urban population, and endless appetite

### Oceans are just as globalized as lands
### Governed by different set of rules but still competed among nation states
--
# .brown[However, globalization in the oceans is much more difficult to "manage"]
---
## .red[Unintended consequences:] What are we really eating & drinking?
Fish mistaking plastic debris in ocean for food, study finds
---
## .red[Unintended consequence:] Microplastic pollution in oceans
A plankton 浮游生物 has eaten a blue plastic fibre about 3mm long. Plankton support the entire marine food chain.
---
### Plastic fibres found in tap water around the world
---
Where do they coming from? According to the Guardian: ".green[A magnified image of clothing microfibres from washing machine effluent. One study found that a fleece jacket can shed as many as 250,000 fibres per wash.]" Water has no boarder
.footnote[Source: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/sep/06/plastic-fibres-found-tap-water-around-world-study-reveals]
---
Much sea salt around the world is contaminated by tiny plastic
---
## Impact of negative flows
Every negative flow can and does affect the lives of individuals in profound ways, such as:
- The insecurities and pain brought by ill-health
- Endless extraction of natural resources leading to depletion
- The daily exploitation of unprotected workers in global value chain
--
__The human cost__: Globalization (or at least its negative elements) as "toxic" to individuals and their emotional lives
--
Unlike other processes, negative flows due to globalization can be unintentional but its consequence can be deadly, uncontrollable, and global. Rational choices may have irrational consequences.
---
## .red[Summary]
Negative globalization involves dangerous flows, processes, and structures
Dangerous imports, diseases, crime, terrorism, and war can all flow through borders and most are doing so at __increased__ speed and volume
Attempts to erect/maintain barriers can be hampered by the __declining power of nation-state__, but also involve __new technologies and alliances__
The direct effects of globalization on individuals should not be lost in studying at the global level
---
### What cost are we paying to satisfy our lives?
