Globalization and its accompanying processes point to a paradigm about

development (Pongsapich, 2003). Globalization is built on the belief that


development can be achieved through rapid economic growth, made possible
because of economic integration (Cavanagh, Mander & IFG, 2004). As a growth-
oriented model of development, it looks into GDP as indicator of success.

CONTEMPLATE.

Competing Development Paradigms. A development paradigm is an idea of


prescribed path to attain development through certain set of activities, according
to a defined vision (Bellb, 2011). Below is a quote from Datu Kaylo Bontulan, a
Manobo leader. He talks about a proposed business investment in their ancestral
land that will displace indigenous communities.

"If this (investment) happens, we cannot cultivate our lands anymore. We


cannot grow local crops on our ancestral domain. They will only force us to
evacuate and use the military who will not think to kill us twice if we stop
their project."

Salugpongan To Tanu lgkanugon, Datu Koylo Bontulan, Talaingod (Velez, 2018)


What are your thoughts regarding two competing paradigms of development
—development by building business in the ancestral land and development
from the point of view of indigenous people?

Economic globalization is a complex global process of expanding the market


economic system all throughout the world. The market economy, the economic
system that gives freedom to entrepreneurs to control productive process to
pursue profit, is just one kind of economic system designed by human societies.
It is a corporate-driven process of enhanced transnational exchange of products;
services, technologies, and capital, creating an increased intercipendence o
world economies (Shangquan, 2000).
