GLOBALIZACION ECONOMICA

La globalización económica es un proceso de integración internacional de las economías nacionales, muy influido por la reducción de los costes de transportes y comunicaciones. Este proceso de integración está constiruido fundamentalmente por aumentos considerables del comercio internacional, de las inversiones directas en el extranjero realizadas por empresas nacionales o multinacionales, de intercambios tecnológicos, de flujos de capital a corto plazo y de migraciones de trabajadores y de sus familias, produciendo cambios culturales importantes. Con la globalizacion económica, el mundo se hace más interdependiente: decisiones tomadas en un país afectan a jurisdicciones politicas ajenas.

Over many centuries, human societies across the globe have established progressively closer contacts, but recently the pace has dramatically increased. Unprecedented changes in communications, transportation, and computer technology have given the process new impetus and made the world more interdependent than ever. Multinational corporations manufacture products in many countries and sell to consumers around the world. Money, technology and raw materials move ever more swiftly across national borders. Along with products and finances, ideas and cultures circulate more freely. As a result, laws, economies, and social movements are forming at the international level and not only the Globalization of the Economy but also the Globalization of Politics, Culture and Law are today's status quo. The globalized world sweeps away regulation and undermines local and national politics. Globalization creates new markets and wealth, even as it causes widespread suffering, disorder, and unrest. It is both a source of repression and a catalyst for global movements of social justice and emancipation
