Here below I want to show
the use of qOSTW to
deepen the understanding of a problem.
The presented analysis should be treated only as a didactic example. I do not undertake the in-depth and thorough analysis myself, because I lack
the expertise; I can only put my expertise
into OSTW model and
to analyze this model.
The state before globalization.
The Arcadia System has closed borders so most of its
internal relations are closed within the borders. The legislative and executive
authority (LEA ) of Arcadia system is the decision-making center.
Contact with the environment is realized through input/output controlled subsystems, controlled by LEA .
Within the Arcadia system processes take place, which execute a series of changes. Behind these internal processes there are changes in the subsystems of the Arcadia system, or changes in relations that link the subsystems.

If this sequence of changes is
accepted , LEA does not need to take any actions. However, if that sequence of
changes is not accepted , the LEA can start corrective or compensating processes
for the process that causes unacceptable sequence of changes. LEA is the center
of decision-making, so it has the power to launch these processes .
The Arcadia system has an unifying factor. One
of the components of this unifying factor is money – the oxygen circulating with the
blood in the veins of the economic system. The more oxygen circulates, the more
subsystems can do, have oxygen = money needed for operating. The Arcadia system
is booming .
LEA manages the money supply
to match the amount of money to the number of economic processes. Both, hyperventilation
and hypoxia are harmful to the health of the population of Arcadia.
A state
within globalisation.
The Arcadia system has open borders so part
of its internal relations is
part of the external orders
with external centers of power. The LEA decision
center of Arcadia
system is becoming less able to respond to unacceptable changes, as a sequence of changes affecting
Arcadia comes from
the outside, where LEA has no power.
The Arcadia loses identity (that
supported it in taking care of the
national interest); becomes a part of
external orders. The Arcadia system has too few resources to
compensate for adverse effects, Arcadia has no
chance for the correction. The power,
so the ability to correct harmful processes, is
placed in an external system,
or the supersystem, that realizes its goals.
Low amount of money
circulating in Arcadia, means a lower standard of living of its people and the
smaller capacity of the state to meet residents’ needs, which by their nature should
be fulfilled by the State (corrective function of the State, which ensures that
the system Nation as a whole was healthy, so that no subsystem changed into a
cancer nor to parasitize on a healthy tissue of the nation).
One of the external orders for Arcadia in the globalization era is the order aimed at profit maximization, which requires cutting costs.

What happens without borders, examples:
·
Workplaces (and therefore purchasing power,
income taxes) wander where there is cheap labour. Money flows out.
·
Arcadia lost workplaces
so it lost production
capacity – it is flooded with goods from
the outside. Money flows out
to manufacturers.
·
Foreign owners of the means
of production still left in
Arcadia, thanks to ‘tax havens’
take out untaxed money.
Owners’ profit money flows out.
Conclusions: Our Arcadia loses money,
the oxygen needed for business processes,
the standard of living of the inhabitants dramatically decreases,
because the system must be balanced.
A higher standard of living can be
maintained only through the supply
of expensive money from the outside; it is a shift of the problem in
time, because this money will
flow out together with the interest.
External decision-makers
make decisions favourable to their beneficiaries at
the expense of others.
Globalization is good for the strong and the rich ones. Polarization between the rich and the poor
increases. The middle class size decreases and declines impact of the middle
class’ onto the legislation
The poor overwhelmed by the struggle for survival do not have the time, energy, funds to fight by democratic means. They fight when poverty exceeds the limits of tolerance, but then the fight takes hallmarks of a civil war or revolution.
