Abstract

The paper "Globalization and Indigenous Knowledge Systems" explores the complex interplay between globalization and indigenous knowledge systems (IKS). It argues that while globalization has facilitated the spread of Western knowledge and technology, it has also threatened the preservation and relevance of local, traditional wisdom. The abstract delves into how indigenous knowledge systems have been marginalized and sometimes exploited in the pursuit of economic development and technological advancement. It examines the challenges indigenous communities face in maintaining their cultural identity and sustainable practices in the face of globalization. The paper further discusses strategies that can be implemented to bridge the gap between Western and indigenous knowledge, emphasizing the importance of recognizing and valuing indigenous contributions to global knowledge and sustainability. Through a critical analysis of case studies, the abstract highlights the resilience of indigenous knowledge systems and their potential to offer innovative solutions to contemporary global issues.
