Globalisation only seemed to gain attention in the 1990’s where international institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organisation and the World Bank delved into domestic policies with the aim to protect lesser economically developed countries from exploitation. It is a phenomenon that has been achieved through (amongst other things) increased global communication, the reduction of trade barriers and the reduction of travelling costs as well as an increase in the quality and efficiency of these methods of transport. Globalisation could be seen as a gradual trend towards homogeneity where, essentially, in the long run we should see opportunity being the same throughout the entire world, however the ‘global culture’ idea is one that is very far from being a reality, especially since not everybody believes that globalisation will benefit them.
We have seen that globalisation has had an impact on world trade, but it is not seen as entirely beneficial.
