Development Studies and its connections to

Globalization and Peace Studies

Development studies may place a lot of focus on the development of a nation; economically,
politically, socially etc. but it shares a lot of common ground with global studies and peace studies.
With the rising importance of predicting the development of a nation, undergraduate degree
curricula have begun to train and gear students to seek out and practice sustainable development
methods (Gladwin, Kennelly, Krause, 1995). It is impertinent that while considering development
of a nation, historical, social and political examination are taken into account in deciphering
complex improvement issue. Improvement of economic states of third-world countries requires
students to be well equipped with concepts and fresh ideas that will be useful in bringing about
sustainable change in developing countries (Krause, 2008).
As a nation undergoes development, economically or socially and enters the global platform; it
begins to maintain and develop trade relations with other countries. This in turn will bring a new
influx of ideas, concepts, technology etc. which will continue to further support the nations
ongoing development. Increased globalization can be summarized as good relationships among
nations, which will surely help promote peace even more so (Purdy, 2004). However, because of the
power battle, one might say that it is troublesome for various civilizations to exist together without
clashes. For instance: the ascent of Chinese economy debilitates the position of the US as politically
influential nation as far back as the second World War. In any case, we can expect the up and
coming era of pioneers and agents will investigate and manufacture key arrangements that will
permit all civilizations to incorporate the best of its economy, nature protection, culture, and a great
deal more (Berberogiu, 2010).
Globalization' has to a great extent superseded the term `economic association' to portray the
quickly developing connections between countries, economies, and social orders. The impacts that
the internationalization of the world framework has on social balance, nature, and monetary
development are, in any case, still to a great extent debated. Albeit liberal market analysts keep up
that financial association applies an unequivocally assuaging impact on interstate relations, the
latest formal work expects that exchange will have an irrelevant and, in the point of view of one
critical model in any event, even an opening up impact on struggle (Barbieri, Schneider, 1999).
Under the originations of peace, feasible peace must be viewed as a critical component for the
eventual fate of success. For a practical peace, sustaining, strengthening, and interchanges are
thought to be the significant components all through the world. Firstly, supporting is important to
energize mental security and passionate development. The hugeness of social esteem in sufficient
supporting is imperative for economical peace. Also, keeping in mind the end goal to accomplish
genuine security, inward security must be secured alongside orchestrated social frameworks and
assurance in light of firm establishment. In conclusion, interchanges are important to conquer
obliviousness and build up a group in view of dependable and helpful data. It will averts
detachment to occur which is basic to bring manageable peace (Linde, Naylor, 2001). Hence a
combination of peace and conflict resolution studies play a great role in the curricula of students
empowering themselves to help bring about sustainable development.
