It also considers the correlation between global economic integration and multinational corporations as well as the associated benefits and detriments of foreign direct investment and multinational corporations for an economy.

The chapter explores the current age of globalisation as only the most recent in a series of inherently similar phases in history marked by intense, technology-driven interconnectedness of economic, political and social affairs unfolding worldwide. Key arguments of both advocates and critics on, above all, the politico-economic factors that led to the ultimate establishment of the dominant neo-liberal order and its institutions are presented, paying particular attention to the rise of the Global South and the impact of the “structural adjustments” that followed the Import Substitution Industrialisation (ISI) strategies adopted in many developing countries upon independence from colonial rule.

From the name of the village in New Hampshire, United States of America, where delegates from 44 allied nations gathered to discuss the reconstruction of the global politico-economic post-World War II.
This is not to ignore, of course, that momentous phenomena such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the Ukraine conflict, both ongoing at the time of writing, will not impact significantly on that politico-economic order in ways we can currently only speculate on.
Often referred to as the “Washington Consensus”—from the name of the institutions that composed it, namely the IMF, the World Bank and the United States Department of Treasury all based in Washington DC—which would call for developing countries to “stabilize [the macroeconomic environment], privatize and liberalize”.

COMMENTS
This paper attempts to estimate the impact of economic, social, and political globalization on the quality of life (QOL), using data reported by the KOF index of globalization.
We conclude with four research implications: (a) developing a multidisciplinary understanding of globalization; (b) viewing culture and identity as dynamic processes; (c) moving beyond the dichotomy of local versus global; and (d) conducting reflective research.
Abstract and Figures. Globalization is a complex and dynamic phenomenon. What make this phenomenon more complex are the contradictory justifications on the origin of globalization, conflicting...
This paper studies globalization dynamics over 1965–2021. Based on the definition that refers to globalization as an extension beyond national borders of the same market forces that operate at all levels of economic activity, the paper is able to determine where the world economy stands compared to the 1960s.
The objective of the article is to research the influence of information and communication technology (ICT), proxied by the ICT index and globalization index on educational attainment in the new EU Member States over the term of 2000–2018 by means of the causality and cointegration test.

This paper explores various aspects of globalization, from the key factors attributed to its rapid increase in recent years—technological determinants, socioeconomic preferences, and governmental policy—to its effects on key economic agents and stakeholders in developing and developed countries.
The Social Impact of Globalization in the Developing Countries In this paper an ex-post measurable definition of globalization has been used, namely increasing trade openness and FDI.
Today’s globalisation is none other than the logical expression, the outcome, the consequence of an evolution that was steadily planned for, and aimed at tapping into vast market for vast profits. Another important argument of the pro-globalisation camp is poverty reduction.
The way knowledge is assembled, catalogued, and retrieved has been radically changed by the new global media of the "Bill Gate/Steve JobsGalaxy". All these thoughts ran through my mind as I received for review a package with the book Globalization: a Basic Text (second edition) by George Ritzer and Paul Dean.
