What you need to know:

Economic globalization is the integration of the world’s economies in  increasingly more interconnected and interdependent ways. Globalization has been  steadily occurring since the beginning of the modern era, but due to new  computer and communication capabilities has accelerated in recent decades. 

Economic trends in the past fifty years include expansion of the service  industry, increasing global output, investment in developed and developing  nations, and the use of computer technologies. Migration, outsourcing, and  multinational corporations have increased the internationalizing of the world’s  labor force.


Outsourcing

BRIC Nations

China, India, Brazil, and Russia have undertaken massive economic reforms  that have stimulated their economies and made them major economic powers in the  global economy. The reforms have also challenged political and social systems by  increasing standards of living for some, creating new labor markets and demands,  exacerbating issues of poverty and urbanization, and accelerating rates of  environmental damage and resource use.

Limited Resources

In recent decades, rising consumption of resources among developed and  developing nations has raised concerns about the limits of nonrenewable  resources. 
The international community, governments, businesses, and local people are  finding new ways to promote sustainable development that protects the  environment and promotes the use of renewable resources.
