Globalization and Functioning of the Local Governments
As countries of the world become more connected to each other with the help of digital platforms, they
need to become more collaborative in terms of working together with the more. For instance, countries
should hold hands in caring for the environment and fighting terrorism. As the world has become a small
village due to the effects of globalization and the nations of the world being more interconnected, the
local governments are forced to take in-laws and ideas that are sometimes oppressive to them. Mostly,
this takes place in matters of economic globalization.
The international communities are aware of the continued damage that has been happening to the
earth's environment. The non-governmental organizations and the agencies of the United Nations,
during their meeting in the Johannesburg summit for the review of sustainable world development,
evaluated the progress of sustainable development during the previous ten years. It came to their
attention that the world environment has not been getting any better due to the biodiversity being
depleted. There has been an increase in the rates of desertification and the evident adverse
consequences of climate change. Therefore, although there have been several attempts to achieve
sustainable development, there has been very little accomplished to date. There has also been an
increasing concern and awareness about the rising natural resources scarcity and also the deterioration
of the world environment that has been taking place gradually. Consequently, the biosphere entirely gas
been taken to be of an essential value to all people of the world, where its preservation and protection
has become a common issue of concern.
The effects of globalization gaveled to transboundary developments. These developments gave been in
terms of social, economic, cultural, and political exchange. Such a scenario can be described in several
different ways; however, the globalization context has been adopted as it includes a broadening and
deepening of fast exchanges in transboundary developments due to improvement and growth in
technology, media, and communication. These interactions and exchanges take place at all governance
levels and among actors of non-states, thus making the world to become more interdependent. This
interdependence creates new development where there are reached at international laws that result
from these changes and thus become a common concern for all mankind. With the world becoming
interdependent, if attempts are adopted to restrict globalization, this would translate to failure and
narrowed focus in the accommodation of the cultural, environmental, and social issues. In this scenario,
globalization means something else like the slave trade that has all along been unregulated across the
world. Therefore, adoption of its restrictive measure would be greatly opposed by the human kind as
this measure would fail to address important common issues such as protection of the environment.
The local governments have also been experiencing failure in leadership misappropriation and
embezzlement of funds by the holders of political offices lack of political will in addressing the political
and administrative corruption cadre, corruption, and fraud by the collectors of revenue, all these
activities enabled by the digital transformation and transfer of funds.
Local governments require funds to steer their project and overcome future challenges. Funds for the
local governments is about the expenditure and revenue decisions made by the local governments that
affect their day-to-day routines and plan for future development to overcome challenges. The common
sources of revenue for the local governments are the taxes collected from sales of property, income
generated by the workers, and the institutions’ properties; transfers from one government to the other,
and user fees. The revenues that are collected from taxes amount to about 42% of the total revenues
