2. What is Globalization ? • Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different nations • A process driven by international trade and investment and aided by information technology. This process has effects on the environment, on culture, on political systems, on economic development and prosperity, and on human physical well-being in societies around the world.

3. People think Globalization is new, though it existed through the history of travel, trade, communication and politics. • As an example, The Silk Road, a trade route between China and the Mediterranean Sea, promoted the exchange of ideas and knowledge, along with trade goods and foods such as silk, spices, porcelain, and other treasures from the East. 

4. Globalization in economy • To increase trade, many countries have created free trade agreements with other countries. Under free trade agreements, countries agree to remove trade barriers. For example, they stop charging tariffs and taxes on imports. In 1994, the United States, Mexico, and Canada signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA),which eventually ended all tariffs on trade goods between the three nations. This allowed globalization of goods and services, as well as people and ideas, between these three countries.

Electronic transfers have also made sending and receiving international payments faster and more secure. • Finance is more readily available to both consumers and organizations, thanks to the globalization of many financial providers.

10. Factors in increased globalization • Increase in and expansion of technology Advances in “cheap” communications can help in reaching global suppliers and customers at a low cost • Liberalization of cross-border trade and resource movements Countries usually restrict the movements of goods, services and resources across their borders to protect its own industries or due to other political reasons. However, most governments have reduced such restrictions primarily for three reasons: • Their citizens want a greater variety of goods and services at lower prices. • Competition forces domestic producers to become more efficient. • They hope to develop relationships with other countries so as to lower their barriers in turn.

11. Growing consumer pressures • Due to the breakthroughs in communications and technology, customers are now more aware of products and services available in other countries. • Not only do customers know of such products, but also have access to purchase those products. • Also, customers are looking for new, better, and tailored products. • Changing political situations Willingness of governments to support programs such as improving airport and seaport facilities have improved speed and cost efficiencies for delivering goods internationally.
