Globalisation Is Creating A More Connected World, With Increased Movements Of Goods (trade) And People (migration And Tourism) Worldwide
Resumen
The phone in your pocket was designed in one country, built from minerals mined in several more, assembled in another and sold to you by a company registered somewhere else again. Nothing about that arrangement is natural. It became possible only because the cost of moving goods, money and information across borders collapsed within living memory.
This lesson explains how the global economy came to be organised in production and commodity chains, what made that possible, and what the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and transnational corporations actually do. It closes on the movement of people, where the vocabulary has to be exact: economic migrant, refugee and asylum seeker are not interchangeable words.
Objetivos
