Globalization and its disconnects

Author

  • Simon Teitel

Abstract

Globalization, defined in economic terms as the phenomenon of increased integration of the world economy, generates strong reactions due to some negative effects of the growth of international trade, the internationalization of industrial production, and unrestricted cross-border capital flows, while the overall mobility of labor remains quite limited. Evidence on the growth of international trade and factor mobility is reviewed and analyzed, and problems affecting developed and developing countries are detected. Policy measures to alleviate some of the dislocations from increased globalization are discussed, and some measures recommended to avoid social and political disruptions.
