Gestion culturelle transversale. Globalisation

Globalization is a very up-to-date and burning topic this, since economists realized that human society had really changed since the beginning of globalization. This is however nothing new. Human societies with trade routes like the Silk Road in Asia have always practiced international exchanges. Marco Polo was one of the forerunners. This open topic means different things to different people and it is very hard to give a real definition. We could only say that globalization is very close to the ideas of global village, single world society and modernisation. The world is becoming interdependent, interconnected as regards of economy: boundaries do not exist anymore.
To explain globalization we will first see what are the different theories which appeared through centuries from mercantilism to International investment. Then we will make the link between the origins and the benefits. Benefits, but globalization has also limits we can not overshadow.
