  5. HYPERGLOBALIZERS • In the present era we observe an existence of a single global economy integrating the world's major economic regions. • Today it is global finance and corporate capital, rather than states, which influence organization, location and distribution of economic power and wealth.

  6. HYPERGLOBALIZERS • Authority of states is territorially bound  global markets can escape effective political regulation. • In borderless economy, states have to accommodate global market forces. • Multilateral institutions of global economic surveillance, especially the G7, IMF, World Bank and WTO, function to manage this growing 'global market civilisation'.

  7. HYPERGLOBALIZERS In this 'runaway world' nation states can no longer effectively manage or regulate their own national economies
