GLOBAL
ECONOMY
WHAT IS GLOBAL ECONOMY?
The global economy refers to the
interconnected worldwide economic
activities that take place between multiple
countries. These economic can have either
a positive or negative impact on the
countries involved.
Characteristics of the Global Economy and its subparts
Globalization
It is the process of a business being able to operate at
an international level.
It enables countries to access less expensive natural
resources and lower costs.
It allows the production of better quality products at a
lower cost.
International Trade
It is the exchange of goods between countries and exposing the country
to goods that are not available to their country.
country.
International Finance
It is the monetary interaction between countries focusing on their
currency.
To raise money, the IFC issues bonds in markets around the world. As
of 2021, the IFC has issued $10.553 billion worth across 178 bonds in
20 currencies.
Global Investment
It is a way in which an investor is able to acquire financial assets and
securities in different countries of the world.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
There are two types of global investment.
Portfolio investment - refers to the investments In a company’s stocks, bonds, or assets.
Investors in this category are looking for a financial rate of return as well as diversifying
investment risk through multiple markets.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) - refers to an investment in or the acquisition of foreign assets
with the intent to control and manage them. Companies can make an FDI in several ways,
including purchasing the assets of a foreign company, investing in the company or in new
property, plants, or equipment or participating in a joint venture with a foreign company, which
typically involves an investment of capital or know-how.
The Importance of the Global
Economy
The increase in global population has led to emerging markets growing
economically making them one of the leaders in the world's economic
growth.
It provides linkage between regions and nations of the world in a system
of economic relationships.
Allows the differentiation of nations depending on which region is being
examined.
It also allows a small minority to achieve a high standard of living
compared to a larger portion of the global population.
The International Flow of
Financial Capital
The international flow of capital refers to the paid transfer of the
right to use the monetary capital between countries.

following:
A.Horizontal Integration
This is when an agency controls other firms with the same marketing tasks at a similar
level in the marketing pattern.
Therefore, some marketing agencies unite to build a union to decrease their effective
number and real competition in the market. It gives main advantages for the new
members.
TYPES OF MARKET INTEGRATION
B.Vertical Integration
This takes place when a firm does several activities in the order of the marketing process.
It is combining two roles in the marketing process in a single firm or with single ownership.
This type of integration enables control over the quality and quantity of the product from the
start of the production process till when the product is ready for sale. It cuts the number of
intermediaries in the marketing channel.
TYPES OF MARKET INTEGRATION
Two categories in vertical integration:
Forward integration
When a firm takes up another marketing function similar to the consumption function; it is called forward
integration. For instance, when a wholesaler does the function of retailing.
Backward integration
This comprises a combination of sources of supply; For instance, when a processing firm takes up the job
of buying the produce from the villages.
TYPES OF MARKET INTEGRATION
C. Conglomeration
A conglomeration is a combination of activities not directly linked to one another and
functions under united management.
ADVANTAGES OF MARKET INTEGRATION
• Diversion of trade: Trade can divert from non-members to members, even though it is
economically damaging for the member side.
• Erosion of national sovereignty: Members of economic unions should observe the rules on
trade and financial policies recognized by an unselected external regulatory body.
Since economists and legislators consider economic integration comes with significant
benefits, several organizations try to measure the extent of economic integration in different
regions and countries.
ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS
IN THE CREATION OF A GLOBAL ECONOMY
After the Second World War, almost all countries faced the great challenge
of bringing their feet back on the ground. As a substitute to the
unsuccessful League of Nations, the United Nations was established on
October 24, 1945. Earlier in 1944 at the Monetary and Financial Conference
in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire (US), the first government-sponsored
international financial institutions were established-the World Bank and
International Monetary Fund.
The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) are two major
global financial institutions that lend money to their member states and
global corporations. The International Monetary Fund, on the other hand,
helps establish institutional bodies to address and reduce poverty like the
African Regional Technical Centers (AFRITACs) in 2001. Clearly, these global
institutions are active agents in fostering social and economic development
by providing various forms of help to improve the national and the global
economies.
HISTORY OF GLOBAL MARKET INTEGRATION
IN THE 20TH CENTURY
Global market integration did not happen overnight. It was the result of the establishment of a global
economy that involved the homogenization of trade and commerce. Prior to trends in globalization of
the 20th century, international trade and the exchange of goods and services were already practiced.
Harvey (1990) sees that cities and countries were able to extend their reach beyond borders and
patterns of trade and technology because of developments in shipping and navigation. This was
observable in the development of maritime transport throughout history. Colonialism and imperialism
rose as new ways of putting order to the economic interrelationships among countries.
The Spanish government in the 1600s, for instance, made use of its colonies like the Philippines and
Mexico as suppliers of its resources for trade. The integration of the global market started when big
American corporations began to emerge after the Second World War with the rise of new
conglomerates. Japanese global automobile corporations like Toyota, Nissan and Isuzu took off after
the giant American companies flourished.Renault automobiles, a French multinational automobile
manufacturer, was also used to help in the military post-war operations. The rise of American,
Japanese, and European global corporations paved the way for the further development of
international trade. Iwan (2012) identifies the differences among international, multinational,
transnational, and global companies
International companies are importers and exporters with no investment outside their home
countries.
Multinational companies (MNCs) have investments in other countries, but do not have a
coordinated product offering in each country. They are more focused on adapting their
products and services to each individual local market.
Global companies have investments and are present in many countries. They typically market
their products and services to each individual local market.
Transnational companies (TNCs) are more complex organizations that have investments in
foreign operations, have a central corporate facility but give decision-making, research and
development, and marketing powers to each individual foreign market.
American corporations operating internationally were at a
great advantage after the war for they had no competition.
Caroll (2003) termed the emergence of international,
multinational, global, and transnational companies in the
United States (US), the European Union (EU), and Japan as the
triad-the major economies of the world. Gereffi (2001)
identifies three structural periods in the existence of global
corporations after the war. They are the investment-based
period (1950-1970), the trade-based period (1970-1995), and
digital globalization (1995 onwards). The development of
global corporations can be examined from the sources and
the levels of foreign direct investments (FDIs).
In 1960, UN cited FDIs as the major drivers of global corporate
development and in 1990, FDIs tripled (Hedley, 1999). During the
trade-based period, global corporations were controlled by
producer-driven commodities. As a result, firms were characterized
by large amounts of concentrated capital focused on large-scale or
capital intensive manufacturing. More so, digital globalization
affected the operation of global corporations since technology
became integrated in both production and consumption. Producer-
driven commodities value streams have integrated their corporate
structures to reduce the effect of time and distance in production
and consumption of goods while buyer-driven value streams have
changed the behavior of corporations in retailing their goods and
services via the internet (Neubauer, 2014).
ATTRIBUTES OF GLOBAL CORPORATIONS
The ascent of global corporations is a reflection of a globalized market integration. TNCs and MNCs
are no longer limited to their home countries. They are able to expand their reach to other
continents and countries. These global corporations have common attributes. Neubauer (2014)
identifies three of them - an agent of desired economic development, en economic prominence,
and a very powerful entity that can create a crisis. These corporations may hit their target of
economic development by making their consumer products available in many parts of the globe.
An example is Nestle. Some TNCs and MNCs were only able to reach their annual growth target by
exploiting the environment. In the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, global corporations brought chaos
to the economy of the Asian region by controlling the foreign direct investments that resulted in the
increase of real estate values, aggressive government infrastructure projects, and huge corporate
spending all funded by bank borrowings.
CONCLUSION
On the whole, international financial institutions play
an important role in the social and economic
development programs of developing and transitional
nations. They are instrumental in the functionality of
the global economy which is reliant on global
corporations.
THE GLOBAL
INTERSTATE SYSTEM
LEARNING OUTCOMES:
At the end of the lesson, the learners are
expected to demonstrate the following:
Goal:
to encourage the member-states to
deepen their commitments in investment,
trade, and industrial collaboration to
brace them for the increase in the
region’s economic activity.
EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON NATIONAL STATES
•UN Security Council has powers that include the creation of peacekeeping operations and
international sanctions and the authorization of military action.
•UN’s International Criminal Court (ICC) prosecutes individuals accused of crimes against
humanity such as genocide.
Moreover, there are also universal principles that are adopted by nation-states in relation to
the dynamism of globalization.
•United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea defines the rights of nation-states on the
use of the world’s oceans.
EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON NATIONAL STATES
4) promote active and beneficial cooperation and mutual assistance on matters of common interest in the
economic, technical, cultural, administrative, and scientific fields;
5) provide assistance to each other in the framework of training and research installations in the educational,
professional, technical, and administrative spheres;
6) work hand in hand for more effective and greater use of agriculture and industries;
7) advance Southeast Asian research; and preserve close and beneficial collaboration with current international
and regional institutions with similar aims and purposes (asean.org). Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines,
Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia are the members of ASEAN.
The European Union (EU)
▪︎an IGO with 28-state members
▪︎was established in November 1993.
Its goals are:
1) to promote peace, its values, and the well-being of its citizens;
3) uphold sustainable development based on balanced economic growth and price stability;
6) enhance economic, social, and territorial cohesion and solidarity among member countries;
7) respect cultural and linguistic diversity; and establish an economic and monetary union
(europa.eu).
The World Trade Organization (WTO)
▪︎encourages trade by lowering trade barriers that may hinder how products
and services flow from nation to nation.
Some other examples of IGOs are:
▪︎ proposes that nations must give up their freedom and submit to a larger
system of laws that is embodied by common international principles.
Socialist internationalism
▪︎based on the view that capitalism is a global system and that the working
class must unite as a global class to forward the struggle against capitalism.

RELEVANCE OF THE NATION-STATE AMID
GLOBALIZATION IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
The role of the nation-state in a global world is largely a regulatory one as the
chief factor in global interdependence. While the domestic role of the nation-
state remains largely unchanged, states that were previously isolated are now
forced to engage with one another to set international commerce policies.
Through various economic imbalances, these interactions may lead to
diminished roles for some states and exalted roles for others. Globalization is a
force that changed the way nation-states deal with one another, particularly in
the area of international commerce.
