(extracted from IMF:
Factors Driving Global Economic Integration
Michael Mussa. August 25, 2000)
Global economic integration is not a new
phenomenon. Some communication and trade took place between distant
civilizations even in ancient times. Since the travels of Marco Polo seven
centuries ago, global economic integration—through trade, factor
movements, and communication of economically useful knowledge and
technology—has been on a generally rising trend. This process of
globalization in the economic domain has not always proceeded smoothly.
Nor has it always benefited all whom it has affected. But, despite
occasional interruptions, such as following the collapse of the Roman
Empire or during the interwar period in this century, the degree of
economic integration among different societies around the world has
generally been rising. Indeed, during the past half century, the pace of
economic globalization (including the reversal of the interwar decline)
has been particularly rapid. And, with the exception of human migration,
global economic integration today is greater than it ever has been and is
likely to deepen going forward. |
