ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF GLOBALIZATION

Globalization should not be regarded exclusively as an economic
phenomenon, in spite of the economic justification and attractiveness
of the term "economy without frontiers" and of the economic benefits it
offers. Leaving the political aspect of this problem aside, it may be
concluded that globalization is a long-term regular economic tendency,
which should not be confronted, as the processes of economic
association, internationalism and integration on the world scale are
immanent within the modern society.
Alongside with understanding that the process of globalization cannot
be stopped or influenced, there is the fear of its effects on small
national economies, especially on developing countries and countries in
transition. The consequence of the global world order is that developed
countries are increasingly developing, while the underdeveloped ones
cannot improve their relative positions but stagnate or even get
increasingly impoverished.
Globalization should be understood as a multidimensional phenomenon
that will induce changes in all the segments of society.
Key Words: Globalization,
integration, developing economies, multinational corporations
EKONOMSKI ASPEKTI GLOBALIZACIJE
Ostavljajući po strani politički aspekt procesa globalizacije, može se
zaključiti da je dugoročna ekonomska tendencija saradnje,
internacionalizacije i integracije imanentna savremenom društvu.
Globalizacija nije samo ekonomski proces, uprkos privlačnosti termina
"ekonomija bez granica" i "koristi za sve" koje treba da proizvede.
Uprkos shvatanju da ovaj proces ne može biti zaustavljen, prisutan je i
strah od efekata na male i nerazvijene ekonomije. Globalizaciju treba
shvatiti kao multidimenzionalni fenomen koji će uzrokovati promene u
svim segmentima društva.
Ključne reči: globalizacija,
integracija, nerazvijene ekonomije, multinacionalne korporacije.
