global cities: post-imperialism and the internationalization of london

Removal of cross-border trade barriers has made the formation of global markets more feasible.

The expansion of global markets liberalizes the economic activities of the exchange of goods and funds. However, disputes and international diplomacy are also large parts of the history of globalization, and of modern globalization.Įconomically, globalization involves goods, services, data, technology, and the economic resources of capital. Globalization is primarily an economic process of interaction and integration that is associated with social and cultural aspects. This increase in global interactions has caused a growth in international trade and the exchange of ideas, beliefs, and culture.

Its origins can be traced back to 18th and 19th centuries due to advances in transportation and communications technology. The term globalization first appeared in the early 20th century (supplanting an earlier French term mondialization), developed its current meaning some time in the second half of the 20th century, and came into popular use in the 1990s to describe the unprecedented international connectivity of the post-Cold War world. Globalization, or globalisation ( Commonwealth English see spelling differences), is the process of interaction and integration among people, companies, and governments worldwide.
