2. What is Globalization?
The worldwide movement toward economic, financial, trade, and
communications integration.
It implies the opening of local and nationalistic perspectives to a broader
outlook of an interconnected and interdependent world with free transfer
of capital, goods, and services across national frontiers.
However, it does not include unhindered movement of labor and, as
suggested by some economists, may hurt smaller or fragile economies if
applied indiscriminately.
3. Pros and Cons of Globalization
PROS CONS
Free trade is supposed to reduce barriers such as
tariffs, value added taxes, subsidies, and other
barriers between nations.
The general complaint about globalization is that it
has made the rich richer while making the non-rich
poorer.
Competition between countries is supposed to
drive prices down.
The biggest problem for developed countries is
that jobs are lost and transferred to lower cost
countries.
Gradually there is a world power that is being
created instead of compartmentalized power
sectors.
Large multi-national corporations have the ability
to exploit tax havens in other countries to avoid
paying taxes.
Labor can move from country to country to
market their skills.
The anti-globalists also claim that globalization is
not working for the majority of the world.
Sharing technology with developing nations will
help them progress.
Globalization has led to exploitation of labor.
5. Benefits of Globalization
Foreign Direct Investment. Foreign direct investment (“FDI”) tends to
increase at a much greater rate that the growth in world trade, helping
boost technology transfer, industrial restructuring, and the growth of
global companies.
Technological Innovation. Increased competition from globalization
helps stimulate new technology development, particularly with the growth
in FDI, which helps improve economic output by making processes more
efficient.
Economies of Scale. Globalization enables large companies to realize
economies of scale that reduce costs and prices, which in turn supports
further economic growth, although this can hurt many small
businesses attempting to compete domestically.
6. Risks of Globalization
Interdependence. Globalization leads to interdependence between
nations, which could cause regional or global instabilities, if local economic
fluctuations end up impacting a large number of countries relying on
them.
National Sovereignty. Some see the rise of nation states, multinational or
global firms and other international organizations as a threat to
sovereignty.
Equity Distribution. The benefits of globalization can be unfairly skewed
towards rich nations or individuals, creating greater inequalities and
leading to potential conflicts both nationally and internationally as a result.
7. The Bottom Line
Globalization has impacted nearly every aspect of
modern life and continues to be a growing force in
the global economy. While there are a few drawbacks
to globalization, most economists agree that it's a
force that's both unstoppable and net beneficial to
the world economy.
