Globalisation describes the way in which
people, goods, money and ideas are moved around the world faster and cheaper
today than ever before.
This is largely due to better transport,
communication and technology.
From Santiago to Singapore, from Cape Town to Copenhagen people can sleep in the
same chain of hotels, eat the same pizzas, and buy the same jeans. Trillions of
dollars a day move electronically across national borders at lightning speed
affecting the lives of millions.
