Blog4: What is the relation between economy and globalization?——QIAN ZIYI

Globalization has facilitated the flow of goods, services, capital and labour between countries. With the reduction of barriers to international trade and the increase in the activities of TNCs, the global economy has become more closely linked. Free trade agreements, cross-border investment, and the development of global supply chains have made economies increasingly dependent on global markets. Manufacturing outsourcing, for example, allows products to be produced and sold globally, thereby increasing productivity and economic growth.


Globalization has also accelerated the dissemination of technology and information. This has made economic activity around the world more efficient, with new technological innovations quickly being applied to economies in different countries, driving industrial upgrading, productivity gains, and global competition. For example, the proliferation of the Internet has made the flow of information faster and the globalization of financial, commodity and labour markets has deepened.


Globalization has changed the industrial structure of many countries, especially in developing countries. Many developing countries have contributed to economic growth and industrialization by attracting foreign investment, developing manufacturing, export and service industries. But such a transformation could also lead to job outflows in some traditional industries, particularly in low-skilled jobs in developed countries.


Globalization has made economies more interdependent, which has also made the global economy more vulnerable. Economic problems in one country can spread rapidly to other countries, with global implications. For example, the 2008 global financial crisis was due to the high level of financial market interaction in the context of globalization, which led to systemic risks.


Globalization has also led to redistribution of wealth and income. In some cases, globalization has contributed to economic growth in poor countries and improved living standards for some. But it has also exacerbated income inequality worldwide, particularly between developed and developing countries, and between urban and rural areas. Globalization tends to favour capital, technology-intensive industries and high-skilled workers, while low-skilled workers and certain industries may face pressures of unemployment and reduced incomes.


With economic globalization, the policy choices of governments are no longer completely independent. International economic cooperation, the regulation of multinational enterprises, international trade and investment rules, etc., need cross-border coordination and cooperation. Furthermore, globalization has made some issues challenges to global governance that require joint national efforts to address.


Overall, the economy and globalization are mutually reinforcing, and globalization has contributed significantly to economic development by promoting trade, technological progress, capital flows and labour market integration. However, globalization has also brought inequality, market risks and governance challenges. As the global economy continues to develop, how to enjoy the opportunities of globalization while managing its risks and negative effects has become a key issue facing the global economy.
