Transition to a new World Order B. Bahramian, Ph.D., MBA Director & Professor University of Maryland School of Business & Technology Based on the evidence that has surfaced since 2008, it is apparent the governing bodies of a large number of nations have failed to deliver on the social contract between these governments and their citizens. In addition, the implicit contract between nations participating in the globalization of the world economy has been breached. This breaching suggests a critical need to analyze these international relationships in order to assess the viability of the globalization process as it affects the current economic and political world order. Here it seems evident that both the so-called capitalist and the communist systems have major internal defects and cannot deliver or serve the best interests of their citizens in the 21st century. As is obvious then, a systemic analysis of both national and international shortcomings must be accomplished in order to identify underlying problems and to pose some solutions to the most egregious of these shortcomings. In the United States, the richest of all nations, some 13,000,000 American children do not get enough food daily to sustain their physical and mental well-being. In addition, there are an estimated 3,500,000 homeless Americans. This reflects, to a great degree, the egregious income disparities in the United States (and elsewhere) where a small portion of the citizenry live in luxury, while a substantial portion of the population live in poverty. Without proper dynamic governmental measures to correct problems such as these, we can never achieve the form of equitable economic prosperity that fosters a greater care for the rights of the individual. To accomplish this, a greater emphasis on an integrated system to make use of education and technology in delivering sustainable economic growth for the future is paramount. Leaving this issue aside, it is also obvious that the over-riding problem of unequal social, political and economic outcomes results, to a great extent, from the failure of many governments to restrain the political activism of significant elements of the business community. More so than is readily evident, significant elements of the business community act as ?sovereign powers? ignoring or otherwise minimizing their contribution to the public interest of their respective home nation. Thus, a new government-business relationship may need to be realized in order to realign the responsibilities of the business community to the public at large. The starting point for all of these changes suggests strongly that renewed priorities must be given to the need for (a) adequately feeding the people of all nations, (b) providing these people with access to basic infrastructural resources, including health care and educational systems that adequately provide for their physical and emotional well-being, and (c) most important of all, putting in place educational systems that meet the spiritual and vocational needs both of the individual and the nation as a whole. Given the international nature of many of these problems, the goals and effective role of the United Nations must be revised and made more consistent with the world as it exists. Its focus must be on actively promoting the rights of the individual, matching the deeds with words. For example, a United Nations assembly should be capable militarily and politically of protecting the citizenry of any nation both from aggression by other nations and especially from any abuse of the indigenous citizenry by its own government. Only in this manner will ?human rights? be given the priority that should be accorded them.
