It finds globalisation is good for the world and Australian economies, stimulating growth and reducing poverty. Nevertheless, governments strongly influence the impact open markets have on their societies through the quality of their policies and institutions. Australia has increased its population's living standards by more than half in two decades showing how a well governed economy can benefit from open markets.

Globalization, the word

Was it, as legend would have us believe, Theodore Levitt, the Harvard Business School marketing professor who in 1983 penned an article for the Harvard Business Review entitled “The Globalization of Markets”? We will never really know who invented the word “globalization”. The word could have rolled off anyone’s lips. It is a word that constructs itself naturally in the English language by combining the word “global” with the standard suffix “ization”. It obviously must mean “to become global”, “to make global” or something along these lines. According to the Oxford dictionary, the word globalization was first employed in the 1930. Following the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the end of the Cold War, globalization became a buzzword as we seemed to have become one world, one planet or one globe! Quite clearly, anything can be globalized.

Specifically, there have been five distinct but overlapping stages in the fifth-century long process of globalisation. Globalisation - How Do We Protect Human Rights. While trade between countries has existed for centuries, the final quarter of the 20th century saw a significant reduction and removal of economic barriers in many parts of the world to facilitate international investment and the flow of goods, services and labour between nations.

Globalisation - How Do We Protect Human Rights

The transition from national and regional economies to global economies is referred to as globalisation. Globalisation has been made possible through the negotiation of free trade agreements, and advances in technology which have reduced labour costs and connected individuals and groups around the world in unprecedented ways. For developed economies, globalisation has enabled access to a broad range of consumer products and finance for corporations. However, for many of the world’s developing economies, globalisation has had a negative effect.
