TEXT :  PROBLEMS OF GLOBALIZATION

  As trade and production are globalized the problems of globalization are very actual. Some people show their inclination for the new tendency that is the abolition of national borders (borders and the sitting up at Customs Unions). In doing so they advocated for free trade. They went to decentralize their industries to the Southern hemisphere by dismantling their existing enterprises in the Northern hemisphere. They hope to boost their productions by making a bilateral agreement with a Third world Country.

Others change their language and speak about lifting the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or even the Gross National Product (GNP) of the host country by bringing high investments and by promising high recruitment of salaried workers. They even promise to respect the labour laws of the host country. But once admitted there they try to distort the laws to their own benefits, for example by practicing the dumping of their products. Most of the time the host country is blinded by such tasks and promises.
