The globalizatoin plays important role in the grow and development of tourism onthe world market. The process of globalization has contributed in a political, economic andcultural sense, has directly affected the intensive growth of tourist travel. Increased mobilityof people, the development of communication technologies and the emergence of the Internethave contributed to the strengthening of international over domestic tourism. Also, globaltourism trends indicate a dominant influence on the process of globalization and its reflectionon the tourism business. All this clearly shows that tourism in the future will have to adaptto phenomena outside its borders and thus will undoubtedly be the most important and at thesame time the most sensitive branch of current and future trends that affect the demand andsupply of tourism products and services. The main goal of this paper is to examine the impactof specific global trends on structural market changes in the demand for tourism, which is aprerequisite for the development of new trends in tourism. This research addresses the globalstatus and trends of tourism, the contribution of the tourism sector to employment, grossdomestic product and overall economic progress globally. The effects on tourism as a resultof the development of global trends are further covered. However, globalization is a kind ofphenomenon that has contributed to the mutual connection between the countries of the world.

In this book Rajneesh Narula examines the interdependence of globalization and technological innovation at two levels: first, between locations, by examining the role of cross-border initiatives in the innovation process; second, between corporate entities, by studying the dynamics of inter-firm R & D collaboration. Examines the international aspect of the interdependence of globalization and technology. Explores the role of cross-border interdependence in the innovation process, as well as interdependence between firms. Reveals an interesting paradox: locations and firms are increasingly interd.

In the actual conditions of modernity, the complex, tense and intrinsically contradictory process of the social globalization is developed in the educative field in peculiar way, configuring the public education of masses as a field of constraints and possibilities, in some levels. The tension between the constraints and the possibilities is inherent to the ruled or emancipatory orientation promoted by the hegemonic globalization or by the anti hegemonic globalization, respectively. The inherent contradictions to the structuration of the educative public space express in "long term" e in the construction of the concrete educative politics. The expansion of the public school of masses, its extension and widening and the construction of a universal model of configuration of the educative institutions, curricula pertaining to school and practical and dynamic the pedagogical ones constitute the essential aspect of the globalization in "long term". The promotion of educational rights and its universalization, the generalization of the access to education, without restrictions of classes, race, gender, ethnic, geographic space or "disability", still that not total carried through, it suffered progresses you designated. Furthermore, the educative field constitutes a space of permanent tension enters the reproduction of the social inequalities and the promotion of expansion politics, for saw educative, of the social rights. The contradictions are expressed in the interior of the regulating space of the agencies of control and educational examination and in the internal tensions of the national educative systems in the peripheral and half-peripherals countries. In the plan of the construction of the concrete educative politics, the tensions have expression in the generalization of the neoliberal politics, with the fast expansion of the privatized orientations and the imposition of the market logic, through measures of evaluation of schools, pupils and teachers, guided for the competition and the efficiency of results, ...

Taking issue with the likening of contemporary globalization to nineteenth century trade interdependence, in which the defining feature of contemporary globalization is the spread of global production networks, which were notably absent in the past, Maswood demonstrates that the emergence of global production networks (GPNs) was not a result of economic and trade liberalization but instead due to neo-protectionist developments in the 1980s that acted as a catalyst to transform Japan's nationally based production networks into the now ubiquitous GPNs.

In modern conditions of the 21st century, information security of corporate economics is gaining more importance while the task of its provision becomes more and more acute. Rapid introduction of information technologies into all spheres of vital activities of the society and the development of corporate economy under conditions of globalization processes call for the definition of substantiated and efficient ways of ensuring information security. The purpose of writing this article is theoretical–methodological analysis and identification of the basic components of provision of information security of the corporate economy under conditions of globalization to protect information, directions of improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the economy on the world market. In the course of the study we applied the following methods: systematic and comparative analysis, the method of generalization. The paper considers theoretical–methodological fundamentals of information security of the corporate economy. The results of the comparative analysis of the category of "information security" were systemized and are given here. Information security is proposed to be regarded as an integrated component of the process of ensuring the protection of information from internal and external threats and creating favorable conditions for the efficient functioning of corporations and enhancing their competitiveness. Peculiarities of setting up an efficient system of information security were researched. A solution to the problem of efficient functioning of the system of information security of corporate economics in the conditions of globalization was proposed by adopting a set of measures that take into account the main components of information security: legislative; economic; program–technical; administrative management. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the improvement of scientific and methodical approach to identifying components of information security of the corporate economy, which provide a range of ...

Global Urban Analysis provides a unique insight into the contemporary world economy through a focus on cities. It is based upon a large-scale customised data collection on how leading businesses use cities across the world: as headquarter locations, for finance, for professional and creative services, for media. These data - involving up to 2000 firms and over 500 cities - provide evidence for both how the leading cities, sometimes called global cities, are coming to dominate the world economy, and how hundreds of other cities are faring in this brave new urban world. Thus can the likes of Lon.

In this introduction, the editors suggest a framework for the study of globalization and environmental governance, review important contemporary developments in supranational environmental governance, and introduce individual contributions to the special issue. Held, McGrew, Goldblatt, and Perraton's distinction between hyperglobalist, skeptical, and transformationalist perspectives on dynamics of globalization is useful in the study of the transformations in environmental governance around the world today. Three important innovations are examined: the development of supranational environmental institutions, increased use of market-based regulatory instruments, and the rise of global civil society involvement. Emergent transformations in global environmental governance are not inevitable, and neither are they sufficient for sustainability. Rather, they are constantly threatened by the interests and actions of economic actors and constrained as well by politics, geography, and global inequality. Persistent efforts by interested parties are required to retain salience, maintain momentum, and extend effectiveness of the new forms of environmental governance.

Local governments increasingly seek to participate in various international transactions, encouraging export by firms within their borders, seeking foreign investment, & accommodating foreign tourists. Here, it is explored whether those metropolitan areas that are more enmeshed in such global transactions are in fact better off economically than metro areas that are less involved. OLS & robust regression techniques are applied to economic data on a sample of 91 metropolitan areas & their central cities to determine whether levels of export, foreign tourism, foreign investment, & immigration are positively related to various measures of well-being, including job growth, income, employment, & low-poverty levels. Results show that, in certain circumstances, foreign direct investment has a slight positive effect on local well-being, while immigration appears to drive up unemployment in the short term. Other measures of global transactions, however, have only modest, if any, effects. It is concluded that, global economic activity fails to demonstrate strong effects because for most metropolitan areas, it is simply too small in proportion to the domestic economy. Expectations of the global marketplace apparently outweigh its actual benefits for urban communities. 2 Tables, 25 References. Adapted from the source document.

Abstract
In this paper I apply the concept of migratory aesthetics to practices of performance and installation art. I begin with two examples of artists-migrants, the Nigerian-British artist Yinka Shonibare and the Vietnamese-American artist Dinkh Q. Lê, and continue with Chinese artists who took the Great Wall of China as the locus but also the main motif of their performances and installations. I selected the work of Concept 21, the Yuanmingyuan group, and Xu Bing. I stress the importance of these art forms in relation to migratory aesthetics. I argue that it is the combination of signifiers inspired by Western art and Chinese iconographies - with sometimes intentionally encrypted symbols - that gives us a better understanding of the mobility and hybridity of aesthetics in times of globalization, which is therefore not restricted to artistic practices of migrants.

ObjectiveThis article investigates the impact of increasing global integration on economic growth, emphasizing its interaction with the level of ethnic heterogeneity in a society.MethodsWe perform a feasible generalized least squares estimation of a random effects model on a longitudinal sample of 103 countries taken over the period 1992–2005.ResultsWe find that economic globalization has generally had a beneficial impact on economic growth. We also find that societies marked by greater ethnic heterogeneity have gained more from global integration. Further, while ethnic heterogeneity has been a significant impediment to growth over the sample period, religious and linguistic heterogeneity have not. Finally, we find that democracies have significantly outperformed autocracies over this period.ConclusionOur results suggest that globalization may have a role in redressing the detrimental impact of ethnic cleavages in a society.

This study examines the effect of globalization on female economic participation (FEP) in MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria & Turkey) and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China & South Africa) countries between 2004 and 2018. Four measures of globalization are employed and sourced from KOF globalization index, 2018, while the female labour force participation rate is a proxy for FEP. The empirical evidence is based on Pooled Mean Group (PMG) estimators. The findings of the PMG estimator from the Panel ARDL method reveal that political and overall globalization in MINT and BRICS countries have a positive impact on FEP, whereas social globalization exerts a negative impact on FEP in the long-run. It is observed that economic globalization has no long-run effect on FEP. Contrarily, all the measures of globalization posit no short-run effect on FEP in the short-run. This supports the argument that globalization has no immediate effect on FEP. Thus, it is recommended that both MINT and BRICS countries should find a way of improving the process of globalization generally to empower women to be involved in economic activities. This study complements the extant literature by focusing on how globalization dynamics influence FEP in the MINT and BRICS countries.

ABSTRACT
The past decade has witnessed the creation of a new international tax regime. The original international tax regime was created a century ago by the League of Nations. Until the 1980s, it functioned reasonably well and prevented most instances of double taxation and double non-taxation by allocating cross-border income between home and host jurisdictions based on a compromise reached in 1923. However, since the advent of globalization in the 1980s and digitalization in the 1990s, the original international tax regime ceased to function as intended. The main problems were the increased mobility of capital related to increased intangibility and digitalization, together with a relaxation of capital controls and increased tax competition. These developments posed a problem for countries that wished to leave their borders open to reap the benefits of globalization and to engage in tax competition to attract investment. The outcome was a significant fall in tax revenues that threatened the social safety net of the modern welfare state. The trilemma of open borders, tax competition, and satisfying voters' demand for social insurance culminated in the financial crisis of 2008–09, where many countries were forced to implement austerity measures at the same time that parliamentary hearings, leaks, and media reports revealed that rich individuals and large corporations were paying very little tax on cross-border income. The results over the past decade have been the creation of a new international tax regime designed to curb both tax evasion by the rich and tax competition among countries seeking to attract business activity within their borders by granting various preferential tax provisions to multinational enterprises. The key question going forward is how the new international tax regime will deal with international (in)equity, i.e. the economic digital divide. In what follows, I will first discuss the decline of the original international tax regime from 1980 to 2009, then the creation of the new international tax regime from 2010 on, and finally the implications of the new international tax regime for the economic digital divide.
