Globalization
(redirected from globalise)

    Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
Globalization
Tendency toward a worldwide investment environment, and the integration of national capital markets. 
Globalization
The integration of global markets by the reduction trade barriers, improved communication, foreign direct investment, and other means. Globalization allows a multinational corporation to make a product in one country and sell it in another. This provides jobs in one country and less expensive goods in the other. Globalization also allows for the free flow of capital between countries, which many believe spurs economic growth. Proponents of globalization argue that it allows developing countries to continue and hasten their levels of development, and that it protects consumers in developed countries. Opponents believe that globalization serves the interests of multinational corporations at the expense of small businesses, which sends jobs to other countries needlessly.

If we want to globalise these events, if we want to make sure that they don't just consistently go to a clutch of countries that are quite clearly resourced and with people to do this, then organisations like the Commonwealth Games and the Olympic Movement are going to have to put frameworks around to help them.
