The good side of globalization is all about the efficiencies and opportunities open markets create. Business can communicate efficiently and effectively with their partners, suppliers, and customers and manage better their supplies, inventories, and distribution network.

China has championed the benefits of market liberalization. In January, Xi Jinping became the first Chinese president to give a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where he made the case for continued economic globalization.

Countries that open their economies have enjoyed annual growth of several percentage points more than those that remained closed. This is true both across the entire developing world and within its regional components, including the poorest region of Africa.

Global flows have been a common thread in economic growth for centuries, since the days of the Silk Road, through the mercantilist and colonial periods and the Industrial Revolution. But today, the movement of goods, services, finance, and people has reached previously unimagined levels. Global flows are creating new degrees of connectedness among economies—and playing an ever-larger role in determining the fate of nations, companies, and individuals; to be unconnected is to fall behind.

Advances in communications, information processing, and transportation technologies have permitted poor countries to become participants in world global markets in ways that previously were not possible. They now can be large-scale exporters of manufactured goods. Because this is so, both foreign direct investment (FDI) and financial capital are attracted to these previously neglected countries, particularly to those that are large and effectively governed (Mandle 2003).

The International Monetary Fund researched globalisation and its affect on developing countries. As globalization has progressed, living conditions (particularly when measured by broader indicators of well being) have improved significantly in virtually all countries. However, the strongest gains have been made by the advanced countries and only some of the developing countries.

The clearest example of the dark side of globalization is competition from foreign workers, which really has slammed the American working class. Economists David Autor, David Dorn, and Gordon Hanson did very careful empirical work and found that competition from China lowered wages and increased unemployment for American workers who were in competition with Chinese imports.

Apple’s iPhone is a model of American ingenuity, but most of its components are manufactured somewhere else. The decline of manufacturing can lead to the loss of other kinds of jobs, a factor in the American economy right now.

While seemingly elegant in theory, globalisation suffers in practice. That is the lesson of Brexit and of the rise of Donald Trump in the US. And it also underpins the increasingly virulent anti-China backlash now sweeping the world. Those who worship at the altar of free trade – including me – must deal with this glaring disconnect.

GENEVA -- The globalization debate is at an impasse. Trade negotiations are stalled. Jobs are disappearing. Financial instability continues. Meanwhile, politically sensitive issues such as migration and outsourcing are high on people's concerns, but low on the global problem-solving agenda. We need new thinking to break the deadlock and bridge the divide.

Economic globalization and the spread of disease refers to the effect that increased international travel and commerce has on conditions facilitating disease growth and strength. These effects have increased the necessity of containing epidemics and outbreaks of disease while at the same time have undermined the efficacy of conventional methods.

The coincidence between the evolving changes of globalization, the inherent weaknesses of the Arab region, and the inadequate American response to both ensures that terrorism will continue to be the most serious threat to U.S. and Western interests
in the twenty-first century. There has been little creative thinking, however, about how to confront the growing terrorist backlash that has been unleashed.

Focuses on the misconceptions about the consequences of globalization. Issue on the advantage of globalization for giant companies; Fallacy of the speculation correlating globalization to environmental destruction; Objection to theories equating globalization with Americanization.

The research suggests that the globalization of education and remix culture have contributed to competing and contradictory understandings of plagiarism in contemporary western academic culture. The article argues that universities need to revisit their definitions of plagiarism and adjust their policies accordingly.
