| | Globalization - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The globalization of investment takes place through Foreign Direct Investment, where multinational companies directly invest assets in a foreign country, or by indirect investment where individuals and institutions purchase and sell financial assets of other countries. | | | Globalization also means cross-border management activities or development processes to adapt to the emergence of a globalized market or to seek and realize benefit from economies of scale or scope or from cross-border learning among different country-based organizations. | | | Many, such as participants in the World Social Forum, use the term "corporate globalization" or "global corporatization" to highlight the impact of multinational corporations and the use of legal and financial means to circumvent local laws and standards, in order to leverage the labor and services of unequally-developed regions against each other. |

| | Globalization - Entry from Oxford Companion to Politics |
| | Contemporary globalization is associated with a transformation of state power as the roles and functions of states are re-articulated, reconstituted and re-embedded at the intersection of globalizing and regionalising networks and systems. | | | Furthermore, the globalization of economic activity exceeds the regulatory reach of national governments while, at the same time, existing multilateral institutions of global economic governance have limited authority because states, still jealously guarding their national sovereignty, refuse to cede these institutions substantial power. | | | Although the global economy as a single entity is by no means as highly integrated as the most robust national economies, the trends point unambiguously towards intensifying integration within and across regions. |

| | Since research in nanoscience is expensive, global in scope, and requires a high degree of cooperation between universities, governments, and industry, questions about the private-public ownership of intellectual property need to be addressed. | | | In contrast to liberal capitalism, mercantilism emphasizes economic self-sufficiency, a favorable balance of trade, captive markets and colonial relations, and a stronger role for governments in shaping social policies that are in the interest of merchants and producers. | | | Since nanotechnology has the potential to transform so much in the course of future globalization, it is vital to consider both its benefits and its risks. |

| | Globalization: Threat or Opportunity? An IMF Issues Brief |
| | Globalization means that world trade and financial markets are becoming more integrated. | | | In fact, globalization is actually making this process easier and less costly to the economy as a whole by bringing the benefits of capital flows, technological innovations, and lower import prices. | | | The international community is responding to the global dimensions of the crisis through a continuing effort to strengthen the architecture of the international monetary and financial system. |

| | the theory and experience of globalization |
| | While with globalization the power of national governments over macro-economic forces may have been limited in recent years, the services and support they provide for their citizens have been seen as a considerable opportunity for corporations. | | | central issue of contention is not globalization itself, nor is it the use of the market as an institution, but the inequity in the overall balance of institutional arrangements--which produces very unequal sharing of the benefits of globalization. | | | Rather confusingly, 'globalization' is also used by some to refer to the efforts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank and others to create a global free market for goods and services. |

| | FRB: Speech, Greenspan--Globalization--March 10, 2005 |
| | Full globalization, in which production, trade, and finance are driven solely by risk-adjusted rates of return and in which risk is indifferent to distance and national borders, will likely never be achieved. | | | Should globalization continue unfettered and thereby create an ever-more flexible international financial system, history suggests that current account imbalances will be defused with modest risk of disruption. | | | If this is indeed the case, because the extent of globalization and the speed of innovation are limited, the current apparent rapid pace of structural shift cannot continue indefinitely. |

| | Global financial markets also challenge traditional attempts by liberal democratic nation-states to rein in the activities of bankers, spawning understandable anxieties about the growing power and influence of financial markets over democratically elected representative institutions. | | | In a cosmopolitan mode, David Held (1995) argues that globalization requires the extension of liberal democratic institutions (including the rule of law and elected representative institutions) to the transnational level. | | | Theorists of globalization disagree about the precise sources of recent shifts in the spatial and temporal contours of human life. |

| | GLOBALIZATION: KEY CONCEPTS |
| | However, the fact that globalization involves the concurrent and interactive processes (causes and effects) of globalizing and globalating does not mean that we ought to obscure these complementary functions -- indeed, to understand globalization we need to be able to think about how they functions reciprocally affect each other. | | | In so far as the ideology of democracy must be inclusive and, hence, global, the structure of conflict between the global and the state, the local and the national, has been re-cast as one of multiple competing and conflicting levels. | | | Within "global trends", the processes involved are thought to connect individuals to large-scale systems as part of complex dialectics of change at both the local and global poles... |

| | Monthly Review — Essays on Globalization |
| | Opponents of the damaging consequences of really existing globalization, from left as well as from liberal perspectives, are divided on the appropriate response to it. | | | Transnational corporations (TNCs) and global governance organizations, such as the World Bank and the IMF, enforce conformity on all nations no matter their location or preferences. | | | For the antiglobalization and antiwar movements these establishment doctrines, insofar as they profess to be “spreading democracy,” are nothing but window dressing for the global dictatorship of the U.S. and core corporate governing elites. |
