, CHAPTER 1 – What is globalization?
What is globalization?
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness and
interdependence of the world’s markets and businesses. This process has
significant economic, political, and cultural dimensions. This leads to
greater exchange of goods, services, technology, and capital across
borders.
What is (economic) globalization?
Globalization is as old as civilization:
This definition defines globalization as anything facilitating
expanded economic interaction across different countries.
Phoenicians (1500 BC) using square-rigged sails for trade in the
Mediterranean.
European explorers reaching landmasses west of Europe, but east of
China.
Highlight that globalization has been ongoing for a very long time.
Deardorff and Stern (2002) definition:
Increase in international transactions in markets for goods, services,
and factors of production.
Growth and expanded scope of international institutions and
organizations, including both MNCs and international institutions:
UN, WB, IMF, WTO.
Globalization equals increased trade:
Key aspect of globalization is the increase in trade.
This is vital to many companies and countries worldwide.
Globalization equals increased foreign investment:
International economic relations include more than just trade in
goods and services.
Foreign direct investment has increased alongside or instead of
trade.
Globalization equals increased migration:
Increased international travel (both temporary and permanent)
contributes to globalization.
Brings diverse cultures into daily contact
Globalization equals increased political connections:
Economic globalization leads to more political connections between
countries.
Countries work together to enact trade agreements and open
borders for factor movement.
