Globalization refers to the process of integration across societies and economies. The phenomenon encompasses the flow of products, services, labor, finance, information, and ideas moving across national borders. The frequency and intensity of the flows relate to the upward or downward direction of globalization as a trend.
There is no evidence for globalisation, that is, of a system of free trade with fullyintegrated world markets. Instead the evidence on the performance and activities ofmultinational enterprises demonstrates that international business is triad-based andtriad-related . . . European, North American and Asian manufacturing and servicecompanies compete viciously for market share, lobbying their governments for shelter and subsidies.
There is a popular notion that there has been an increase of globalization since the early 1980s. However, a comparison of the period between 1870 and 1914 to the post-World War II era indicates a greater degree of globalization in the earlier part of the century than the latter half. This is true in regards to international trade growth and capital flows, as well as migration of people to America.
If a perspective starts after 1945—at the start of the Cold War—globalization is a growing trend with a predominance of global economic integration that leads to greater interdependence among nations. Between 1990 and 2001, total output of export and import of goods as a proportion of GDP rose from 32.3 percent to 37.9 percent in developed countries and 33.8 percent to 48.9 percent for low- to middle-income countries. From 1990 to 2003, international trade export rose by $3.4 to $7.3 trillion (see Figure 1). Hence, the general direction of globalization is growth that is unevenly distributed between wealthier and poorer countries.

有一种流行的观点，自20世纪80年代以来，全球化的增加。然而，在1870和1914之间的时期到二战后的比较表明更大的全球化程度在本世纪初的一些比后者的一半。这是真正的关于国际贸易的增长和资本流动，以及移民到美国。
如果一个角度1945在冷战后全球化的开始是一个日益增长的趋势，随着全球经济一体化，各国之间的相互依存关系导致更大的优势。1990和2001之间，进出口货物的总产出占GDP的比重从百分之32.3上升到百分之37.9，在发达国家，百分之33.8至百分之48.9为低收入国家。从1990到2003，国际贸易出口增长了3.4美元，至7300000000000美元（见图1）。因此，全球化的总体方向是增长的，富裕的和贫穷的国家之间的不均匀分布。
