At a top political and economic level, globalization is the process of denationalization of markets, politics and legal systems, i.e., the rise of the so-called global economy. The consequences of this political and economic restructuring on local economies, human welfare and environment are the subject of an open debate among international organizations, governmental institutions and the academic world. This portal does not take part in this debate or offer any information on this matter.\n\nAt a business level, we talk of globalization when companies decide to take part in the emerging global economy and establish themselves in foreign markets. First they will adapt their products or services to the final user's linguistic and cultural requirements. Then, they might take advantage of the Internet revolution and establish a virtual presence on the international marketplace with a multilingual corporate web site or even as an e-business.\n\nIn the context of this portal, globalization is the process of adapting software applications and web sites, so that they are linguistically and functionally suitable for use in more than one country. Overall, globalization requires a combination of linguistic, engineering and marketing knowledge that is not easily available.

Honestly if you are a developing country, you are probalby leery at best of Globalizaton. It offers very little protection for your local industry and very often leads all the way to a loss of gov. sovergnity. One of the features of the globalization system is that debt ridden industrialzing countries recieve short term aid packages from the IMF/World Bank. The problem is the way the packages work, countries are required to adjust the structure of their economy to recieve aid. These used to be called structural adjustment programs (SAP's) but the name has been changed as a result of many riots resulting from sap actions. Part of the problem is everything is privatized very quickly but there is little done to ensure any kind of safety net for the locals or the local businesses. What results is transnational companys swoop in, take what they can essentially, and leave with their investments which cripple a country. Likewise, countries are often told what to produce, but the influx of a certain good hurts prices, and at a competitve disadvantage to developed countries this can be a killer.\n\nTo answer the last questions.... it is not a secure financial system as many NIC (newly industrializing countries) are more debt ridden and have higher unemployment than before. Likewise, legally a country has less say over its gov. because of the debt they have incurred of high interest short term loans. \n\nAnother problem is the transnationals dont get taxed very much by the gov. (as a rule of the saps) so the privitization process can occur very rapidly at a high cost to the country. Also property rights are secure for the new investors and their companies because of sap rule, but not for the country.\n\nAs i think it shows, for developing countries, neoliberal economics (globalization) is not a very user friendly system. The spoils all go the global elite while the countries being used to create that wealth often end up in worse shape than before.

Globalisation, in my opinion, started several centuries ago. The way Budhism spread from India to the far east is a case in point. The building of temples and social and economic thinking, to the East from India is a classical case of globalisation.\nHowever, the concept took a new meaning with the discovery of the New World in the 15th/16th Century. The engine to the discovery was to bring spices, gold and other precious commodities to Europe. Some form of Economic Imperialism.\nIn the 1970's, the US and Europe, went on the globalisatin spree, as we know it now. This was particulaly the case with the large multinationals, who saw tremedous opportunities in the low cost economies, and the large markets, which would give them further opprtnities to grow.\nHowever, I believe, we have only seen the tip of the iceberg for economic globalsation, as I see further opportunties with the process.

You should check out The Pentegon's New Map by Thomas Barnett and maybe email some embassies in the US for really booming countries like India and China.  Also, depending on how technical you want to go, you may want to look at Jan Aart Scholte's book Globalization: a critical introduction.

The gross domestic product is a measure of everything that is produced. If it has grown, it indicates there was economic growth, that promotes more investments creating a virtuous circle.

Globalization\nFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.\nJump to: navigation, search\n\nGlobalization is the changes in societies and the world economy that result from dramatically increased international trade and cultural exchange. It describes the increase of trade and investing due to the falling of barriers and the interdependence of countries. In specifically economic contexts, the term refers almost exclusively to the effects of trade, particularly trade liberalization or "free trade" (however, see "meanings" below). More broadly, the term refers to the overall integration, and resulting increase in interdependance, among global actors (be they political, economic, or otherwise).\nA picture taken in Dubai International Airport, in the United Arab Emirates showing some of the characteristics of globalization. Here, the corporation McDonalds is marketing their "McArabia" meal, consisting of grilled kofta.\nEnlarge\nA picture taken in Dubai International Airport, in the United Arab Emirates showing some of the characteristics of globalization. Here, the corporation McDonalds is marketing their "McArabia" meal, consisting of grilled kofta.\n\nFrom 1910 to 1950, a series of political and economic upheavals dramatically reduced the volume and importance of international trade. But these trends reversed starting with WWI and continuing through WWII, when the Bretton Woods institutions were created (i.e. the IMF and the World Bank). After World War II, international trade dramatically expanded, fostered by international economic institutions and rebuilding programs. From the 1970s, the effects of this trade became increasingly visible in terms of benefits and disruptive effects.\n\nIt is useful to distinguish economic, political, and cultural aspects of globalization, although all three aspects are closely intertwined. The other key aspect of globalization is changes in technology, particularly in transport and communications, which it is claimed are creating a global village.

Imperialism as we knew it may be no more, but Empire is alive and well. It is, as Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri demonstrate in this bold work, the new political order of globalization. It is easy to recognize the contemporary economic, cultural, and legal transformations taking place across the globe but difficult to understand them. Hardt and Negri contend that they should be seen in line with our historical understanding of Empire as a universal order that accepts no boundaries or limits. Their book shows how this emerging Empire is fundamentally different from the imperialism of European dominance and capitalist expansion in previous eras. Rather, today's Empire draws on elements of U.S. constitutionalism, with its tradition of hybrid identities and expanding frontiers. \n\nEmpire identifies a radical shift in concepts that form the philosophical basis of modern politics, concepts such as sovereignty, nation, and people. Hardt and Negri link this philosophical transformation to cultural and economic changes in postmodern society--to new forms of racism, new conceptions of identity and difference, new networks of communication and control, and new paths of migration. They also show how the power of transnational corporations and the increasing predominance of postindustrial forms of labor and production help to define the new imperial global order. \n\nMore than analysis, Empire is also an unabashedly utopian work of political philosophy, a new Communist Manifesto. Looking beyond the regimes of exploitation and control that characterize today's world order, it seeks an alternative political paradigm--the basis for a truly democratic global society. \n\ncc

1. Globalisation. \n   \nNo longer can management think in the box. Focus is on the world much more than localities.\n\n2. Information Superhighway.\n\nThe World Wide Web has changed the way we market. Various options will need to be looked at before money is committed to any form of marketting.\n\n3. Delivery\n\nShipping used to be easy. With the world as your market, logistics have to be in place to meet these needs.\n\n4. International Laws\n\nThe boderless world however necessitates that we know and appreciate international laws which can affect us.\n\n5. Foreign Currency.\n\nHedging, Conversions, exchange rates etc all these are key to operating in the changing world .

Comoseshama is wrong.  What he/she explained is conquering a nation.  Colonization is when a country sends citizens (colonists) to set up a settlement in a new region.  This is then controlled by the "Mother Nation," but many colonies had their own government (like local governments).  \nFor the definition:\n\nColonization - To go to and live in a colony or other civilized setting established in a foreign, hitherto sparsely inhabited or virtually unsettled land.\n\nThat is just about what I just explained.  Hope that helps you.

Our influence on other countries is definitely imperialism.  We have used the assets of other countries,  keeping rulers in power in those countries because they are friendly to us.  Allowing those rulers to get rich, leaving the people of their nations poor.\nConsuming the assets of all these nations to benefit a select, international group.  Global culture would be a wonderful thing, but that is not what is going on now.  What is happening with the World Monetary Fund and the one world movement is domination by international corporations, with no allowance for human rights, labor rights, environmental concerns or for human beings.  Only for capital.  US is just leading the way for international corporate domination of the world.

(m)\n\nOne of the demerits of the globalization, illegal immigration of poor people to the advanced countries, becomes a serious problem in the world. As the concepts of globalization spreads around the earth, there is a noticeable distinction between the rich and the poor especially in a backward nation. As a result of that, even illegally, the poor people decide to go to other country for their dreams.

global meaning the world and trading meaning selling and buying goods. so the definition of global trading is selling and buying goods/products throughout the world.
