New Trade and Globalization

May 19, 2011

businessyellowpages Globalization, Trade , 2 Comments

Globalization is a relatively new term, coined by the modern era economists. Globalization essentially means integration of global economies and promotes free trade practices between the economies. But actually, Globalization has been around since ages when the famous silk route existed to promote free trade practices between the Asian economies of India, China, and Iran. It has had its proponents and opponents since time immemorial as well.

Understanding Globalization And New Trade
Today Globalization is much more than just an economic term. Its meaning transcends commercial and economic boundaries. It is an ongoing process, where different economies, diverse cultures and distinct societies converge & interact via global communication and an exchange network.

Support And Criticism
Since Globalization carries diverse meanings and has a widespread impact, people perceive it in different ways. Globalization has its impact in political, technological, and even in socio cultural environments. Hence, apart from the wide support, Globalization has had its share of criticism as well. Its proponents usually stress on its long term benefits, while the opponents tend to highlight its negative influences on the domestic economy of a country.

Globalization: Boon Or Bane
Globalization promotes free trade and hence, has an immense impact on the economy. Free exchange of goods, services and technology, result in a competitive market and offer international exposure to the enterprises. As a result of Globalization, the wealth and prosperity of many nations have improved and it has even made them self efficient. This has also resulted in interdependency among nations and given a boost to international integration. Nations have realized the importance of their fellow nations and many wars have been averted.

On the flip side, critics of Globalization argue that the free inflow of goods from the foreign shores, undermines the immense talent of domestic markets. People may be influenced by the foreign products and domestic markets may suffer.

Hence, it is up to the nations to come together and work towards a sustainable and a viable solution, for the effective functioning of the world economy through Globalization.
