    exchange of good and services at an interregionallevel

    GLOBAL MARKET

    Requires the existence of regularized exchange of goodand services at interregional level

    The most common type of global markets are those forsome primary commodities where trade is concentratedat handful of locations

    Resulted from interpenetration of national markets thatcreated networks of trade

    Trade played a significant role in the emergence ofcities and the rise of nation state

    Mercantilism grew out of belief that an economy couldincrease its wealth through a trade surplus and

    consequent accumulation of precious metals

    Trade was thus conceived as a zero-sum competition:one states loss was another states gain

    Trade was not significant enough by itself to

    determine patterns of inequality

    Trade was essential to the economic prosperity of the

    major trading cities that comprised the worlds tradingposts, but its impact on economic activity moregenerally was limited.

    Not only did the GATT produce large reductions in

    tariffs and thereby liberalize trade, but latterly itmoved into other sectors, notably reducing barriersto trade in services.

    By the 1970s a largely free trade order had been

    established among all the OECD countries and sincethe 1980s this has been extended to developingcountries and countries formerly closed to tradeunder communism, with the result that a global

    trading system now exists.

    Regionalization-The process of dividing an area intosmaller segments called regions. Businesses also use

    regionalization as a managementtool and a way tomake certain that needs unique to particular areas aremet.

    Contemporary regional trading arrangements have

    been designed to liberlaizer trade not to buildprotectionist fortresses, recognizing the potentialbenefits from freer trade but also the relative case ofreaching agreement at the regional, as opposed to

    global level.

    Intra-industry trade

    Trade has expanded relative to output for most of the

    postwar period not just because of decreasing tariffbarriers and transport costs, but also because of thechanging structure of global production.

    It lasted until 1914, before the outbreak of World War I. Duringthis period, most of the industrial nations linked theircurrencies to gold and inflation rates were about 0.1 percent.

    When these nations were on the gold standard, there were noformal agreements with other nations. No treaty wassigned. Each nation defended its currency in terms of gold. Itstreasury or central bank was required by law to buy and sell gold

    without limit at the stated price. The public had completeconfidence in the convertibility of its currency into gold.

    3. Trade Facilitation

    The facilitation of trade involves how the proceduresregulating the international movements of goods canbe improved. It depends on the reduction of thegeneral costs of trade, which considers transaction,tariff, transport and time costs, often labeled as the"Four Ts" of international trade.

    attention to four growth-enhancing facets of globalization that have beenamong its key drivers, namely, trade, finance, communications andtransport.

    Globalization to a certain extent pushes workers in the formal sector tothe other end. These include economic restructuring, market-drivenpolicies, technological change, the degree of government interventionin labor markets and industrial relations, flexibility in the way work isorganized and growing diversity of work, and the increasing dichotomyin terms of employment and income opportunities between workersfrom both formal and informal sectors.

    Globalization has taken its socio-economic toll in the exploitation of

    the labor sector, primarily those located in third world countries suchas the Philippines. The old model of the international division of laborhas been replaced by a more exploitative paradigm having direct effecton those that belongs in the working class and its trade unions.
