The Roots of Our Global Economy
Demonstrations in Seattle and Prague, passage of NAFTA and GATT, talk of multinational businesses and multinational markets — the third millennium opened as the era of globalization. Growing in popular use during the 1990s, this term describes a world with porous borders. Today money, goods, and services readily cross national boundaries. Instantaneous messages and enormous libraries of information flash across the Internet. Television, telephones, and wireless communications link people everywhere. Political, economic, and environmental developments have planetary impact: Global warming exemplifies this situation both as an effect and as a name.
Unique as the modern world seems to be, globalization has been developing for a long time. The pace of trade, travel, and communication is much faster now, but people have always spread out, always dealt with others outside their own societies. Such interactions have been critical to history. Only the speed of change has changed.
As means of transport improved, the hope of gain opened new trading and migration routes. After Vasco da Gama led Portuguese vessels around the Cape of Good Hope, Atlantic ports could trade with the Indian Ocean directly. Following the voyages of Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan, Spanish treasure galleons crossed the Atlantic and Pacific oceans on regular schedules. On islands from New Zealand to Hawaii, Europeans encountered the descendants of daring mariners who had colonized this region centuries earlier.
The rapid discovery of so many new opportunities led to aggressive forms of competition. Armies and navies battled to defend monopolies claimed by monarchs and their favourites, and by such new business organizations as the East India Companies. In the Western Hemisphere, the Aztec and Inca empires fell to Spanish invaders. France and Britain contested control of North America until American colonists took much of it for themselves. Still closer to our own time, the interests of trade led to the Opium Wars in China and to the arrival of Matthew Perry’s U.S. gunboats in Tokyo Bay.

Though these conflicts were terribly destructive, they were part of the process that has brought about modern society. Trade, travel, and communication take place at a much faster rate today than in times past, but contemporary interactions emerged directly out of cross-cultural contacts and exchanges with deep historical roots.
