 Globalization

flow of capital and migration of people across
international boarders.

3. Liberalization
- it is a policy wherein laws regarding restrictive importation
of products are modified or totally abolished.

- it is done by amending or abolishing policies that restrict or

limit the importation of goods in the form of tariffs and quotas

- when implemented, products of developed countries can now

penetrate the markets of the developing countries and the least
developed nations.
Primary Types of Globalization
1. Economic Globalization
- the movement of economic resources from one country to
another. The capital – rich country would invest in poorer
countries. A country who has better technologies would
usually sell modern technology to other countries that lack
these products. The products of developed countries enter
the markets of those countries that have greater demands for
these products. Similarly, the natural resources of the
developing countries are also sold to the developed countries
who are in need of these for their products.

2. Cultural Globalization
- Culture has been commodified. When books, films and
music are released, they are not only sold in US or Europe
but also promoted in the international market. A new trend
that is developing in relation to cultural globalization is the
North to the South flow of culture. Examples are Harry
Potter film and Justin Beiber album. The fast spread of
cultural globalization became possible through modern
technology and internet. (PreserveArticles.com, 2012)
Primary Types of Globalization
3. Political Globalization
- the establishment of regional organizations like European
Union (EU), ASEAN and APEC aims to establish world
under a single government. The member-states of these
organizations remain sovereign, but they are bound to
perform obligations and follow commitments that they have
signed when they join the organization.
- they are bounded, and integrated themselves to the policies
of the concerned international organizations and groupings
