At first must to explain the word „international“ meaning.International means something
what includes more then one state,more cultures,teritorries,more continents.;it is name for
products of globalisations,international communications,trade ,politic,international relations in
general. Globalisation is phenomenon of nowaday time and means new beginning for menhood
and life on the planet Earth picture. Globalization (or globalisation—see spelling differences) is
the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views, products,
ideas, and other aspects of culture.Put in simple terms, globalization refers to processes that
promote world-wide exchanges of national and cultural resources. Advances in transportation
and telecommunications infrastructure, including the rise of the Internet, are major factors in
globalization, generating further interdependence of economic and cultural activities
Though several scholars place the origins of globalization in modern times, others trace its
history long before the European age of discovery and voyages to the New World. Some even
trace the origins to the third millennium BCE.[5][6] Since the beginning of the 20th century, the
pace of globalization has intensified at a rapid rate, especially during the Post Cold War era.The
term globalization has been in increasing use since the mid-1980s and especially since the
mid-1990s.In 2000, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) identified four basic aspects of
globalization: trade and transactions, capital and investment movements, migration and
movement of people and the dissemination of knowledge.Further, environmental challenges
such as climate change, cross-boundary water and air pollution, and over-fishing of the ocean
are linked with globalization. Globalizing processes affect and are affected by business and
work organization, economics, socio-cultural resources, and the natural environment.

1. WHAT IS GLOBALISATION?
‘Globalisation’ means
‘the reduction of the difference between one economy and
another’
so that trade within and between different countries is increasingly similar all over the
world. Globalisation has become a big buzz word in the last 10/15 years, but it has been going
on for centuries, and especially since 1945. What has changed is the pace of this trend; it used to
be quite a slow process and in recent years it has become much faster.
2.1.ETYMOLOGY AND USAGE
The term
globalization
is derived from the word
globalize
, which refers to the emergence of
an international network of social and economic systems.
[
One of the earliest known usages of
the term as the noun was in 1930 in a publication entitled
Towards New Education
where it
denoted a holistic view of human experience in education.A related term,
corporate giants
, was
coined byCharles Taze Russell in 1897 to refer to the largely national trusts and other large
enterprises of the time. By the 1960s, both terms began to be used as synonyms by economists
and other social scientists. It then reached the mainstream press in the later half of the 1980s.
Since its inception, the concept of globalization has inspired competing definitions and
interpretations, with antecedents dating back to the great movements of trade and empire across
Asia and the Indian Ocean from the 15th century onwards. Due to the complexity of the
concept, research projects, articles, and discussions often remain focused on a single aspect of
globalizationRoland Robertson professor of sociology at University of Aberdeen, an early writer
in the field, defined globalization as "the compression of the world and the intensification of the
consciousness of the world as a whole world“
1
. Sociologists Martin Albrow and Elizabeth King
define globalization as:...all those processes by which the peoples of the world are incorporated
into a single world society
In The Consequences of Modernity, Anthony Giddens uses the following
definition:Globalization can thus be defined as the intensification of worldwide social relations
which link distant localities in such a way that local happenings are shaped by events occurring
many miles away and vice versa
In Global
Transformations
David Held, et al.,
study
the
definition
of
globalization:
„Although in its
simplistic sense
globalization
refers to the
widening, deepening and speeding up of global interconnection, such a definition begs further
elaboration. ... Globalization can be located on a continuum with the local, national and
regional. At one end of the continuum lie social and economic relations and networks which are
organized on a local and/or national basis; at the other end lie social and economic relations and
networks which crystallize on the wider scale of regional and global interactions.
