Globalization, or globalisation (Commonwealth English; see spelling differences), is the
process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and
governments worldwide. Globalization has accelerated since the 19th century due to
advances in transportation and communication technology. This increase in global
interactions has caused a growth in international trade and the exchange
of ideas and culture. Globalization is primarily an economic process of interaction and
integration that is associated with social and cultural aspects. However, conflicts
and diplomacy are also large parts of the history of globalization, and of modern
globalization.
Economically, globalization involves goods, services, data, technology, and the economic
resources of capital.[1] The expansion of global markets liberalizes the economic activities of
the exchange of goods and funds. Removal of cross-border trade barriers has made the
formation of global markets more feasible. [2] Advances in transportation, like the steam
locomotive, steamship, jet engine, and container ships, and developments
in telecommunication infrastructure, like the telegraph, Internet, and mobile phones, have
been major factors in globalization and have generated
further interdependence of economic and cultural activities around the globe.[3][4][5]
Though many scholars place the origins of globalization in modern times, others trace its
history to long before the European Age of Discovery and voyages to the New World, and
some even to the third millennium BC.[6] The term globalization first appeared in the early
20th century (supplanting an earlier French term mondialization), developed its current
meaning some time in the second half of the 20th century, and came into popular use in the
1990s.[7] Large-scale globalization began in the 1820s, and in the late 19th century and early
20th century drove a rapid expansion in the connectivity of the world's economies and
cultures.[8]
In 2000, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) identified four basic aspects of
globalization: trade and transactions, capital and investment movements, migration and
movement of people, and the dissemination of knowledge. [9] Environmental challenges such
as global warming, cross-boundary water and air pollution, and over-fishing have been
linked to globalization.[10] Globalizing processes affect and are affected
by business and work organization, economics, sociocultural resources, and the natural
environment. Academic literature commonly divides globalization into three major
areas: economic globalization, cultural globalization, and political globalization.
