Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason A

Assertion A: A much broader way of understanding of economic globalisation requires us to look at the distribution of economic gains.

Reason R: Economic globalisation usually involves greater economic flows among different countries of the world.

In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options give below:

Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A

The correct answer is option (2) - Both A and R are correct and R is NOT the correct explanation of A

Assertion A: A much broader way of understanding of economic globalisation requires us to look at the distribution of economic gains. This is correct. Economic globalisation involves many actors other than these international institutions. A much broader way of understanding of economic globalisation requires us to look at the distribution of economic gains (Assertion), i.e. who gets the most from globalisation and who gets less, indeed who loses from it. 

Reason R: Economic globalisation usually involves greater economic flows among different countries of the world. This is also correct. This statement highlights a key aspect of economic globalization, namely the increased interconnectedness and exchange of goods, services, capital, and information across national borders.

However, Reason (R) doesn't directly explain why looking at the distribution of economic gains is important. While greater economic flows might be a feature of globalization, it doesn't tell us how those benefits are being shared. Thus, R does not Explain A.
