What effects will declining oil resources and increased demand have on globalization?
486127
Declining oil resources and increased demand for oil and petroleum based products will drive prices up.  No-one would dispute this.  Many are optimistic about the market (see references below).  In fact, the oil industry in the United States has done very well under the circumstances.  Profits are up.  Way Up.\n\nUnlike other commodities, oil is complicated by heavy government involvement.  This tends to muddy the picture.  Political power applied through commercial interests and vast marketing efforts have lead the citizens of the US into a false sense of reality.  For example, the rise in SUV sales during the exact time when vehicles size and mass should be reduced.  Profit motivation coupled with buyer ignorance is not a rational economic path.\n\nGlobalization of the market is also coupled with globalization of the distribution system.  This very well might lead to more development in the area of alternative energy sources.  The most promising of these (at least for the American corn growers) is Ethanol.  This and bio-sourced oil products may hold the key to keeping prices down while allowing for expansion and development of economies worldwide.

Oil, defense sectors will definately suffer.\n\nAlternative fuels will benefit, such as ADM, GPRE, and others.\n\nOverall though, this is a good thing, because with a balanced government; this will cause regulation-making to become slower, which is better for businesses. Businesses hate change.

You are asking a loaded question. In the next ten years there will be 76,000,000 people retiring, that alone will shift much of life as we know it. Real estate may peter out as baby boomers sell their big homes for smaller ones. Stocks may not do so well with less people working. Commerce (GNP) will slow as there are less buying dollars. Foreign powers will gain strength, economic and political.

The global economy is heading into a period called PEAK OIL. This means that we've reached the halfway point in terms of oil production. While there is still roughly 1 trillion barrels of oil left we will enter a period of declining returns. This means that once we reach the peak (nowish, 2010 at the longest) the world will pump out steadily less and less oil every year. This is catastrophic and will shake the foundations of our economy. We need approx 86million B of oil per day. This number gets higher and higher every year as the global economy expands, particularly with the white hot growth and demand from China and India. Pruduction will fall and demand will go up. Prices will skyrocket and there will be shortfalls as the gap widens between the oil available and demand for it. We have already seen the price of oil skyrocket from the low teens a few years back to close to 80. Its happening.\n\nWho will get the oil? The US reached their peak way back in 1970 and have steadily declined since. Now they are importing oil at increasing rates. They are aware of peak oil and need to secure sources for the future. They've done this by force. They are currently building massive military bases in the 2 best areas for oil reserves. (Approx 14 permanent massive bases in Iraq)The middle east, and Afghanistan which is on the doorstep of central asia where massive reserves are located. \n\nThis is why Iraq and Afghanistan were invaded. The US will be able to determine who gets whats left of the most valuable resource on the planet as oil reserves hit a steady decline. The rest is smoke and mirrors.\n\n-could the person that gave me a thumb down. Please post an intelligent rebuttal rather than a thumb down. I'm am shocked at how any educated person could have read what I wrote, then briefly pause in thought before clicking on 'thumb down?!?'

Mainly the global market.  With countries like India and China consuming tons of oil and gas, it has raised global demand and prices.  The instability of the supply from certain countries has contributed to a fear of future supply also.\n\nThere's a full article here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5365439

There will be other energies. Only way we will run out of them is if the powers that control them (Oil men in many countries) say to. "Fossil" fuels themselves may not even be quite what we think they are.

Every other how Globalizatin is affecting India and U.S\n                   \n                        INDIA\n1) Stock Market: - Because of Globalization, FII's And FDI's are investing in our country in a huuge way, this leading to a boom in the stock market and strenghthening our economy.\n2) Higher Standard Of Living: - With multination companies coming in India after Globalization our living standard has risen due to better products being provided by them at nominal rates.\n3) More Employment: though our unemployment rate is still high, but as multinational companies are able to set up there offices over here, they are able give good job oportunities and are creating more jobs.\n\n                          U.S\n1) Offshoring of business: - Due to globalization, many of the U.S Busineses are being offshored to various other countries where there are cheap labour, as labour in U.S is very expensive.\n2) Reduction In Job Opportunity: - It can be logically followed from the first point that due to offshoring of business, the job opportunity in U.S have reduced considerably.\n3) Brain Drain: - Though businesses are being offshore to other countries, still there are a few jobs for which one has to go to U.S to achieve his/her dreams. Jobs related to astronomy is a example. People who need better infrastructure for their jobs are shifting to U.S.\n\nThere you have your answer.

Only if you are the country that is sanctioned. over all the world economy is able to absorb enough of the lost produces.  well except when it comes to Oil.

Globalization can usefully be conceived as a process (or set of processes) which embodies a transformation in the spatial organization of social relations and transactions, generating transcontinental or interregional flows and networks of activity, interaction and power. \nIt is characterized by four types of change:\n- First, it involves a stretching of social, political and economic activities across political frontiers, regions and continents.\n- Second, it suggests the intensification, or the growing magnitude, of interconnectedness and flows of trade, investment, finance, migration, culture, etc.\n- Third, the growing extensity and intensity of global interconnectedness can be linked to a speeding up of global interactions and processes, as the evolution of world-wide systems of transport and communication increases the velocity of the diffusion of ideas, goods, information, capital, and people.\n- Fourth, the growing extensity, intensity and velocity of global interactions can be associated with their deepening impact such that the effects of distant events can be highly significant elsewhere and even the most local developments may come to have enormous global consequences. In this sense, the boundaries between domestic matters and global affairs can become increasingly blurred. \nIn sum, globalization can be thought of as the widening, intensifying, speeding up, and growing impact of world-wide interconnectedness. By conceiving of globalization in this way, it becomes possible to map empirically patterns of world-wide links and relations across all key domains of human activity, from the military to the cultural.\n\nFrom the pre-modern, through to the early modern (1500-1800), modern (19th to early 20th century), to the contemporary period, distinctive patterns of globalization can be identified in respect of their different systemic and organizational features - uneven as they often are. These patterns constitute distinctive historical forms of globalization. By comparing and contrasting these changing historical forms, it is possible to identify more precisely what is novel about the present epoch. \nAccordingly, to advance an account of globalization it is necessary to turn from a general concern with its conceptualization to an examination of the key domains of activity and interaction in and through which global processes evolve.

manufacturing will continue to move towards less developed countries.  these countries will need to do things to replace the income generating capability of manufacturing [just like the US and Britain and Japan have had to].

This sounds like a question for a stratigic mgt class. \n\nWhat you have to do is a top down fundimental analysis.\n\nstart wth global demand issues affecting the automobile industry. (You will need to consider forigen exchange rates as well as the apprication that has taken place in the costs of raw materials including oil)\n\nYou then have to look at your contry's business enivrnoment.\n\nAfter doing this, you will have a better idea about the factors that affect the industry.\n\nYour next step is to start looking at internal forces that affect the industry and the forces of compitition within the industry and other subsititues such as trains or planes.\n\nAnother thign you can do is to look into the automobile industries in the US, europe, japan, and chaina.\n\nOnce done with this step, you can start looking at indivual companies.

In 20 years there will be only 3 places that you can get oil from; Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Alaska, U.S.A (not yet dugged up).  Within a next 50 those will be used up aswell.

It is kinda hard to answer this because it is very opinionated but i think it will be rather soon because of the Oil Crisis. eventually the oil rich contries will be over run but oil hungry nations that haven't prepared for a huge shift such as the loss of oil. Eventually war will break out over it and the allience system will kick in much like WWII.

The Economy for many Middle East nations rely more on selling their oil then most other economies rely on consuming it. In other the words, the Middle Eastern Economy would collapse, and the consuming countries would just open the market to other oil sellers like Canada and Venesuela.

Globalization effect or impact on supermarket is the same as the effect and impact on supply chain. As the world economy boundary disolve, a supermarket [i.e. Walmart] can have a corporate product planner and finance, but its sourcing, procurement and purchasing may be located elsewhere where manufacturing and supply is located.\n\nBy having local procurement, the supermarket can provide a daily updates on its requirement and future requirements [forecast] to the vendors and supplier, at the same time adjust its weekly purchase order to fit the need.\n\nOn the supplier side, with the crosss continent/cross time zone operation, can provide an efficient supply chain on the goods that supermarket require, based on lowest possible shipping cost and maximum volume.\n\nWhan this process is complete and the cargo arrive US dock or destination, the marekt where the goods is suppose to go will result in a continous supply, at a stable cost and possibly reduce in cost due to volume, at a weekly basis.\n\nOther materials you can read is about how container cargo enjoy the growth due to globalization.
