Trends in Globalisation

This document outlines three phases of globalization: 1. Phase 1 saw the agricultural revolution and the movement of people to food. 2. Phase 2 saw the rise of Asia, Eurasian integration via the Silk Road, and the rise of Europe following events like the Black Plague and developments in finance and trade. 3. Phase 3 saw the overthrow of the "dictatorship of distance" as trade costs fell between 1820-1914, followed by periods of tariff cutting between the World Wars and establishment of rules-based trade after World War 2 through organizations like GATT and NAFTA.
