Global coopertaton and globalisation confused; injustice to IMF boss

”Global cooperation” and “globalisation” are distinctly different things.

IMF boss, Christine Lagarde - her views about
global cooperation confused with globalisation.

That difference however, appears to have escaped the understanding of the headline writer from the Melbourne Age.

International Monetary Fund boss Christine Lagarde talked to the Centre for Global Development about global cooperation pointing to the important role it has to play in countering the rise of populism and inward-looking forces.

Global cooperation, such as illustrated in Paris late last year, is the key to avoiding catastrophic climate change, while contrastingly globalisation is about individualism; an individualism that through its penchant for profit that disregards people, climate disruption worsens, drawing ever closer.
