Globalization has been defined in various ways by different scholars. In economic terms, globalization refers to progression of incorporating different isolated national markets of capital, labor and commodities into a single world market which different investors across the globe can exchange ideas (Garret, 2000). It is vital for quick flow of information. It also refers to the integration of diverse countries and economies where the impact of global pressures has a major impact on the international business operations. With respect to political dimension, political globalization can be defined as the integration or synchronization of the world political standards, labor standards, for the purpose of breaking the boundaries with the main object of making governance easier and promoting mutual international relations. Bodies like the United Nations play a defining role in this.

Globalization has had a lot of negative impacts on the international economic operations, political relations, cultural aspects and environmental issues. The paper's intention is to explain how globalization has negatively affected various economies (Garret, 2000).

Lastly, there has been a rise of global elite resulting from widening of income gaps due to inability of other countries to attract globalization drivers.

[...] The paper's intention is to explain how globalization has negatively affected various economies (Garret, 2000). Many economists have argued that globalization has positive impact to economy and especially to international business investors (Cleo, 2001). The major positive impact of globalization is that it has led to liberalization of international trade.
