Summary Details

The paper reviews Thomas L. Friedman’s "The World Is Flat" and examines how technological advances and improved communication intensify globalization and create more level competitive conditions among firms and countries. It focuses on four challenges: tensions between strongly state-driven and strongly market-driven economic models, the “number gap” (insufficient STEM talent), the “education gap” (unequal educational attainment), and the way globalization can facilitate terrorist networking. It concludes with a critical assessment, highlighting persistent structural advantages, rising inequality, and political side effects.

Die Arbeit fasst zentrale Argumente aus Thomas L. Friedmans "The World is Flat" zusammen und analysiert, wie technologische Innovationen und verbesserte Kommunikation Globalisierung beschleunigen und Wettbewerbsbedingungen zwischen Unternehmen und Staaten angleichen. Im Mittelpunkt stehen vier Problemfelder: Spannungen zwischen (extrem) staatsgeprägten und (extrem) marktorientierten Wirtschaftsmodellen, die „Number Gap“ als Mangel an MINT/STEM-Fachkräften, die „Education Gap“ durch ungleiche Bildungszugänge sowie die durch Globalisierung erleichterte Vernetzung terroristischer Akteure. Abschließend werden die Thesen kritisch diskutiert, u. a. im Hinblick auf fortbestehende strukturelle Vorteile, wachsende Ungleichheit und politische Nebenfolgen.
