CONTEMPORARY WORLD

GLOBALIZATION

Globalization means the speedup of movements and exchanges (of human beings, goods,
services, capital, technologies, or cultural practices) all over the planet. One of the effects of
globalization is that it promotes and increases interactions between different regions and
populations
around the globe.

Most agree that globalization rests upon, or simply is, the growth in international exchange of goods,

services, and capital, and the increasing levels of integration that characterize economic activity.
In this sense, globalization is only another word for internationalization.

What is globalization?

Globalization is the process by which ideas, knowledge, information, goods, and services spread
around the world. It describes integrated economies marked by free trade, the free flow of capital
among countries, and easy access to foreign resources, including labor markets.

Globalization is driven by the convergence of cultural and economic systems, promoting increased
interaction, integration, and interdependence among nations.

How Globalization Works

In a globalized economy, countries specialize in products and services they have a competitive
advantage in. Policies that promote free trade, open borders, and international cooperation drive
economic globalization. Advances in technology have played a crucial role in globalization.

Technological Drivers of Globalization:


1. Internet: Increases sharing of information and access to ideas.
2. Communication technology: 4G and 5G improve network speed.
3. Transportation: Air transport and logistics enhance global trade.
4. Manufacturing: Automation and 3D printing reduce constraints.

Why is globalization important?


Globalization changes the way nations, businesses, and people interact. It expands trade, opens
global
supply chains, and promotes cultural exchange. However, it also has downsides, such as spreading
diseases and destabilizing economies.

History of Globalization

- Roman Empire (600 B.C.): Spread of economic and governing systems.


- Silk Road (130 B.C. - 1453 A.D.): Trade routes linking China to Europe.
- Pre-World War I (1870-1914): Rapid global trade growth.
- Post-World War II: Institutions like the UN and WTO promote cooperation.
- 21st Century: Technological advances accelerate globalization.

4. Technological Globalization: Spread of technology worldwide.
5. Financial Globalization: Easy global flow of capital.
