Globalisation

Introduction

Basically, Globalization is not mysterious. The term is commonly used since the 80s, that is to say, since technical progress would make it easier and faster international transactions (commercial or financial). With the Globalization of markets, it is possible to exploit more markets and more extensive in the world. This means that one can have access to more capital and technological resources that imports are cheaper and that export opportunities are expanded. However, markets do not necessarily guarantee that this increased efficiency benefits everyone. Countries must be ready to launch the necessary political and, in the case of the poorest, they may need to do to support the international community. While the word Globalization this today on the lips of almost all cannot say that there is a precise and widely accepted definition. Globalization is understood by the fact that it is becoming more certain that we live in one world, so that individuals, groups, and nations become more interdependent.

Discussion

The complexity of defining this process is because it has different dimensions and a multidimensional character. In fact, the variety of meanings attached to it seems to be increasing rather than decreasing over time, acquiring cultural connotations, and political, technological, and other types as well as economic. In technological terms, we see as an increase in media and information, develop transport, and change the organization and the production process, making the world smaller than the space and time are reduced. In cultural terms, Globalization involves the rapid and large-scale dissemination of the dominant cultures of this process of their lifestyles, their products, or their language (Manuel 2003, pp. 16). In economic terms is the fact that in recent years part of the world's economic activity increasing at an alarming rate seems to be taking place between people living in different countries (rather than in the same country). Economic Globalization is characterized by:

Financial Globalization: it's called freedom of capital movements, the opening of capitalist markets and increased capital flows.

The Globalization of trade: the opening of markets for goods and services and the liberalization of world trade. You start talking about products and global markets. Industrial production, increased foreign direct investment, implementing new forms of production and organization of work, related to the global as well as a new international division of labour.

Globalisation has prompted one of the most passionate debates of the last decade has been the subject of countless books and because of huge demonstrations in Europe and North America. Proponents point to the significant poverty reduction achieved in countries that have chosen to join the world economy such as China, Vietnam, India, and Uganda, an increase of development and progress and a reduction of both individual and global inequality. While critics have argued that the process has led to the exploitation of people in developing countries, has caused great changes in their way of life, caused a series of negative effects on the environment and health, and instead provided little benefit.
