Global Village with perfect connectedness and interdependency c. Global economic growth generates global wealth = sum of the wealth of us in the global Village 2. Governance Structures did not follow to better manage globalization at maturity 3. SRO-WA/ECA provided the compass to move smoothly from the Old to New Global Partnership for Development Global Crisis 1. Globalization offering more risk and less opportunities 2. Opportunities of globalization to become key to prosperity, stability and peace to all Global Citizens threatened under a misguided Stimulus Strategy Page 2
