Résumé
Globalization is the gradual integration of economies and societies around the world. In recent decades, global integration has increased dramatically and very quickly because of technological innovations, development of communications, science, means of transport and so on. Even if globalization often refers to the "global economy", it also exists in cultural, political, sociological and ecological spheres.
Globalization, which is developing greatly, raises many questions and controversies. In fact, people are wondering in what ways it is advantageous and what are its mains drawbacks. About this subject, Alan Greenspan, an American economist and former chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve of the United States said: “The basic problem that we confront is given that the advantages [of globalization] are so much greater than the deficits, how do we take care of those who are on the wrong side of this process?”.
To tackle the issue of globalization, I will start by looking at what its main advantages are. In a second part, we will look at its drawbacks.
