The move toward a global economy has been further strengthened by t
19、he widespread adoption of liberal economic policies. 2. Current trends suggest that the world is moving rapidly toward an economic system that is more favorable for the practice of international business. 3. The world may be moving toward a more global economic system, but globalization is not inevi
20、table. 4. It is simply worth noting that even from a purely economic perspective, globalization is not all good. 5. The opportunities for doing business in a global economy may be significantly enhanced, but the risks associated with global financial contagion are greater. The last quarter of the ce
21、ntury has seen rapid changes in the global economy. Barriers to the free flow of goods, services, and capital have been coming down. The volume of cross-border trade and investment has been growing more rapidly than global output, indicating that national economies are becoming more closely integrat
22、ed into a single, interdependent, global economic system. As their economies advance, more nations and areas are joining the ranks of the developed world. A generation ago, South Korea and Singapore were viewed as second-tier developing areas. Now they boast powerful economies, and their firms are m
23、ajor players in many global industries from shipbuilding and steel to electronics and chemicals. The move toward a global economy has been further strengthened by the widespread adoption of liberal economic policies by countries that for two generations or more were firmly opposed to them. Thus, fol
24、lowing the normative prescriptions of liberal economic ideology, in country after country we are seeing state-owned businesses privatized, widespread deregulation*, markets being opened to more competition, and increased commitment to removing barriers to cross-border trade and investment. This sugg
25、ests that over the next few decades, countries such as the Czech Republic, Poland, Brazil, China, and South Africa may build powerful market-oriented economies. In short, current trends suggest that the world is moving rapidly toward an economic system that is more favorable for the practice of inte
26、rnational business. On the other hand, it is always hazardous to take established trends and use them to predict the future. The world may be moving toward a more global economic system, but globalization is not inevitable. Countries may pull back from the recent commitment to liberal economic ideol
27、ogy if their experiences do not match their expectations. Clearly, this would be a tougher world for international businesses to compete in. Moreover, greater globalization brings with it risks of its own. This was starkly demonstrated in 1997 and 1998 when a financial crisis in Thailand spread firs
28、t to other East Asian nations and then in 1998 to Russia and Brazil. Ultimately the crisis threatened to plunge the economies of the developed world, including the United States, into a recession. It is simply worth noting that even from a purely economic perspective*, globalization is not all good.
29、 The opportunities for doing business in a global economy may be significantly enhanced, but as we saw in 1997-1998, the risks associated with global financial contagion* are also greater. Still, there are ways for firms to exploit the opportunities associated with globalization, while at the same t
30、ime reducing the risks through appropriate hedging* strategies. A: Pre-listening Question What will affect the future of global economic development besides political factors?The following two factors must be taken into consideration although there are many others that will decide the future of the
