The thing called globalization is said to be founded by Phoenicians. The reason behind this is, they were great businessman and traders. They crossed their territories to trade their goods and purchase other goods from other civilizations. Some would argue that Chinese were the ones who gave birth to globalization. And then there were Spanish, English and Dutch colonies to consider as well.
China would have become the biggest and the most powerful country in the world if Admiral Zheng continued with his journey all around the globe with his fleet of treasures. But the same old Chinese thing kept him from doing that. They had no interest what so ever in what the world had to offer. They were too possessed by their own country. If you notice, you can clearly see the potential of china as a trading country in the present world. China went to the furthest extent of international business like no other nations back then.
For us these do not really matter where globalization came from. We are happy that it is here and confident that it is here to stay as long as the human civilization. But we have to change the way globalization is shaping up to be and use it in a positive way to make a better world. Globalization if handled efficiently can become a great tool in changing the fate of so many trade deficit nations of the world.
Globalization is a very dynamic process. So countries should be fast growing to keep up with it. It requires having all the internal problems of a country solved to do that. Globalization like any other modern thing favors only the productive and efficient countries but it can be really bad for the countries with no productivity. If a nation is having internal collisions politically or of any other form, it’s likely to lose grip and lose their wealth to a nation that has the ability to handle it properly.
