Ans: The process of interaction and integration of the worldwide people, companies and governments is known as globalisation. The growth of globalisation helps in the growth of international trade.

  • Containerisation- The costs of ocean shipping have decreased, due to containerisation, bulk shipping, etc. The lesser unit cost of shipping products around the global economy supports bringing prices in the country of manufacture closer to those in export markets, and it makes markets contestable globally.

  • Technological Change- Rapid and sustained technological change has decreased the cost of transmitting and communicating information – sometimes it is known as “the death of distance” – the main factor behind trade in knowledge products using web technology.

  • Economies of Scale- Many economists thought that there has been a development in the minimum efficient scale (MES) associated with some industries. If the MES is increasing, a domestic market may be considered as too small to satisfy the selling needs of these industries. 

  • Differences in Tax Systems- The wish of businesses to earn profit from lower unit labour costs and other  production factors abroad has encouraged countries to synthesise their tax systems to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). Many countries have participated in tax competition between each other to win lucrative foreign investment projects.

  • Less Protectionism- Old forms of non-tariff protection such as import licensing and foreign exchange controls have gradually been pulled down. Borders have opened and  import tariff levels have decreased.

  • It is worth knowing that, in the last few years, there has been a rise in non-tariff barriers such as import quotas as countries have struggled to get real economic growth and as a response to persistent trade and recent account deficits.

OR

(b) Access, how globalisation has touched the lives of larger society.              5 Marks

Ans: The process of interaction and integration of the worldwide people, companies and governments is known as globalisation. The growth of globalisation helps in the growth of international trade.

  1. Globalisation is connected with continuous and significant human changes. The movements of people from villages to cities have accelerated, and the growth of cities in the developing world especially is connected to substandard living for many. Concepts of national identity,  job and tradition are changing constantly and significantly.

  2. Globalization shows that the world today is more interconnected than before.  Globalization in its economic sense refers to the adoption of open and unbridled trading markets  (through lowering of trade barriers, withdrawal of capital controls, and liberalization of foreign exchange restrictions).

  3. Large volumes of money movement, improved volumes of trade, and changes in information technology and communication are all integral to a global world.

  4. There is also a movement of people from one country to another for trade and work.  Such improvement in the movement of goods, and services have weakened national barriers and restrictions that are imposed by a nation-state.

  5. Global interaction has been the basis of economic improvement in the world. Trade, along with migration, communication, and dissemination of scientific and technical knowledge, has supported to break the dominance of intense poverty and the pervasiveness of ‘nasty, brutish and short lives that characterised the world. And yet, in spite of all the progress, life is still nasty, brutish and short for a large part of the world population.
