Teachers from Tallinn University of Estonia
Lecture on Economy of Globalization Era
Dr. Jakobson Leif and Dr. Kalev Mari-liis, the couple from the University of Tallinn, Estonia lectured on the economy of globalization era on the afternoon of April 7.
Mari started her lecture by greeting the students friendly in Estonian language and then briefed them on Estonia. She introduced that Estonia, located in Eastern Europe, people there speak both Estonian and English. As is highly globalized, the country has 20% to 30% of international students, who are from more than 40 countries and regions, such as UK, Germany, Spain and many others.
From the point of view of economic development, Mari explained the problem of globalization. She said that in the trend of globalization, developed countries gained their economic advantage due to the completion of capital accumulation in advance, while developing countries with weaker economic foundation can also gradually improve the economic strength in the process of globalization by virtue of their own advantages in providing inexpensive export commodities.
Leif, afterword, from the geographical, social, economic, political, cultural and other perspectives, analyzed propulsion factors in the development of globalization, and by viewing from science and technology as the breakthrough point, discussed emphatically about scientific and technological progress as the positive impact on globalization. He also suggested that globalization brings positive significance. However, it exerts a negative impact as regard to environmental pollution, market vicious competition, financial bubbles and other crises. Therefore, in his opinion, we should treat the problem of globalization with dialectical thinking.
The lecture was given in English in view of the foreign language features of SCBC, aiming at improving the students' English listening and speaking skills, at the same time, spreading the knowledge of economy and culture in the globalization era so as to inspire students' theoretical thinking.
