PART B_2

Globalization refers to the strong ties and growing interdependence of countries. As a result of globalization, international trade has become more common, and economic and social shifts have been brought about. It is almost like a massive spider web that has expanded in size and scope throughout the years.

People, money, goods, and information have crossed through these connections in the modern era. They have also done so faster and in greater numbers than ever before. When did this phenomenon start? According to many scholars, it began in 1492 with Columbus’ voyage to the New World. People traveled to both nearby and distant locations before Columbus’ voyage, exchanging ideas, goods, and customs along the way.

Prior to 1870, the global trade market accounted for less than 10% of total output. At present, 25 percent of the world’s goods are exported and imported. International trade has grown at a faster rate than the economy over the last century. Globalization will be accelerated more in the future.
