Correct Answer:

Globalization leads to rise of the welfare state

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (3) → Globalization leads to rise of the welfare state

  • Criticisms of globalization include:

    • It represents global capitalism, widening the gap between rich and poor.

    • It reduces the decision-making power of the state.

    • It harms traditional cultures by imposing uniform, globalized values.

  • The idea that globalization leads to the rise of the welfare state is not a criticism. In fact, globalization is often blamed for weakening the welfare state rather than strengthening it.
