In the introduction to the chapter 'Globalisation and Social Change', which of the following pairs is correctly matched?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Globalisation and liberalisation - terms already met in earlier chapters
Option (1) Indian industries - discussion of new visions for global cities — Incorrect. Indian industries come up in the section on the policy of liberalisation and its impact on Indian industries in Chapter 5. New visions for global cities belong to the Vision Mumbai discussion in Chapter 3, so the pair is wrong.
Option (2) Vision Mumbai - section on liberalisation and rural society — Incorrect. Vision Mumbai was discussed with the new visions for global cities in Chapter 3. Globalisation, liberalisation and rural society is a different section, in Chapter 4.
Option (3) Globalisation and liberalisation - terms already met in earlier chapters — Correct. The chapter opens by noting that the terms globalisation and liberalisation have already appeared in earlier chapters of this book on social change and development. So the two terms are rightly paired with earlier chapters.
Option (4) Capital flows - focus of political science on globalisation — Incorrect. Capital flows are an economic dimension of globalisation, the aspect that economics deals with. Political science focuses on the changing role of governments, so this pair is wrong.
NCERT (2026-27): “Globalisation and Social Change “… Indeed you will find that different subjects or academic disciplines may focus on different aspects of globalisation. Economics may be dealing more with the economic dimensions such as capital flows. Political science may focus on the changing role of governments. …” |
