A Global World

Globalization was the result of planning by economists, business interests, and politicians who recognized the costs associated with protectionism and declining international economic integration. Their work led to the Bretton Woods conference and the founding of several international institutions intended to oversee the renewed processes of globalization, promoting growth and managing adverse consequences.
These were the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank) and the International Monetary Fund. It has been facilitated by advances in technology which have reduced the costs of trade, and trade negotiation rounds, originally under the auspices of GATT, which led to a series of agreements to remove restrictions on free trade.

The end of the world barrier

Since World War II, barriers to international trade have been considerably lowered through international agreements - General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Particular initiatives carried out as a result of GATT and the World Trade Organisation (WTO), for which GATT is the foundation, has included:
• Promotion of free trade:

o Reduction or elimination of tariffs; construction of free trade zones with small or no tariffs

o Reduced transportation costs, especially from development of containerization for ocean shipping.

o Reduction or elimination of capital controls

o Reduction, elimination, or harmonization of subsidies for local businesses

• Restriction of free trade:

o Harmonization of intellectual

    Tariffs are taxes on imports or goods into a country or region. This is one of the oldest forms of government involvement in trading activities. Tariffs are implemented for two clear economic purposes. They provide revenue for the government and they improve economic returns for firms and suppliers of domestic industries that face competition from foreign imports. This protection comes at an economic cost to consumers who pay higher prices for imported goods and to the economy as a whole through the unproductive allocation of resources to the import competing domestic industry. Therefore, "since 1948, when average tariffs on manufactured goods exceeded 30 percent in most developed economies, those economies have sought to reduce tariffs on manufactured goods through several rounds of negotiations under the General Agreement on Tariffs Trade (GATT)." (Carbaugh, 2000) When coupled with other barriers to trade they have often constituted formidable barriers to market access from foreign producers. Tariffs, that are set high enough, can block all trade and act just like import bans. Non-Tariff Barriers (NTB) are also a tactics that are used to regulate the amounts of imports. Voluntary export restraint (VER) "allows…

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, and the General Agreements on Trades and Tariffs(GATT), which turn into the World Trade Organization(WTO), are the main organizations that deal with the stability of the global economy. They have done this but promoting trade, issuing loans to countries in economic trouble and allowing international investing. The problem that has arisen from these organizations is that they have sacrificed the domestic economy of many countries in order to support their global agenda.…

    Globalization came about as countries saw that other countries could produce products better and cheaper than another country could (comparative advantage), so countries began producing what they had an advantage in and selling it to other countries. This trading of products became an accepted practice and eventually spurred economic growth. This caused countries and businesses to begin operating in…

    The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business. Where countries have faced trade barriers and wanted them lowered, the negotiations have helped to open markets for trade. But the WTO is not just about opening markets, and in some circumstances its rules support maintaining trade barriers for example, to protect consumers or prevent the spread of disease.…

    At the end of World War II trade tariffs in all economies were very high. What is more, the non-tariff barriers were spreading out. In 1947 an international agreement called General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was introduced to reduce tariffs. The GATT assisted in establishing a powerful multilateral trading system. Because of rounds of trade negotiations, the system was becoming more and more liberal. Nevertheless, the system still…

    The globalization of the world economy is reflected in many ways. The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) simulates free trade between countries by encouraging the reduction of tariff and non-tariff barriers (e.g. local content requirements, safety regulations, etc). This allows firms to trade more easily and move around the world. A result of this increased mobility is the increasingly large scope of money and capital markets and general regulations on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).…
