Ouverture de ‘Global Networks and Sustainable Development - 1’

Abstract

From the beginning of the 2010s and up to these years, a fourth phase of globalisation produced a structural change in network’s competition (network globalisation 2010-2020).

The global capitalism, in effect, determines profound changes in economics and social bonds and radically modifies the traditional basic principles of industrial production.

The global capitalism introduced indeed a new dimension of worldwide competition based on collaborative networks. For example, in several industries fusions have involved a ‘mega-merger’ of corporate giants that has radically transformed the competitive balance in these sectors.

The new basic driver of global capitalism specifically regard: Health; Energy; Food; and Communication.
