Globalization can be described as ‘…a widening, deepening and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life, from the cultural to the criminal, the financial to the spiritual’ (Held and McGrew 1999: 2). In these pages we portray some aspects of economic globalization, meaning the greater global connectedness of livelihoods, and of the proction of goods and services. International trade is the cross-border trade in goods and services. On these pages, it is measured by the sum of imports and exports, divided by the GDP of a national economy. The growth of international trade is a straightforward indication of economic globalization. When US residents, for example, read labels on their clothes showing they are made in China, Malaysia or Mexico, or decide to purchase a car made in South Korea, their sense of global connectedness is immediate. Investment is the conversion of money into some form of property from which an income or profit is expected to be derived. Foreign direct investments (FDI) are flows of money into a country that purchase a lasting stake in an enterprise for a foreign investor. These investments are direct in the sense that the investor purchases ownership rights in a specific company, rather than in a portfolio of stocks held by a broker, say. FDI does not include short-term investments, portfolio investments or currency flows. Foreign Direct Investment is an indication of growing transnational ownership of proction assets. It is a leading edge of economic globalization in the sense that increasing foreign ownership of proctive may give direct influence over livelihoods and proction. The implications of foreign ownership of proction may include both positive and negative elements, depending on the perspective of the observer. Foreign investment has often been an important avenue for the transfer of skills and technology. At the same time, foreign investment puts workers under foreign control, and leads to foreign appropriation of profits. 经济全球化的过程早已开端，尤其是80年月以后，特别是进入90年月，世界经济全球化的过程大年夜大年夜加快了。经济全球化，有利于资本跟出产要素在全球的公道设置，有利于资本跟产品在全球性相干图书[1]活动，有利于科技在全球性的扩大年夜，有利于促进不兴旺地区经济的开展，是人类开展进步的表示，是世界经济开展的必定成果。但它对每个国度来说，都是一柄双刃剑，既是机会，也是挑衅。特别是对经济气力薄弱跟科学技巧比较掉落队的开展中国度，面对全球性的激烈竞争，所碰到的伤害、挑衅将愈加严格。现在经济全球化中急需处理的成绩是树破公平公道的新的经济秩序，以保证竞争的公平性跟有效性。 经济全球化是指贸易、投资、金融、出产等活动的全球化，即生活要素在全球范畴内的最佳共同置。从本源上说是出产力跟国际分工的高度开展，请求进一步超越平易近族跟国度疆界的产品。进入21世纪以来，经济全球化与跨国公司的深刻开展，既给世界贸易带来了严重的推动力，同时也给各国经贸带来了诸多不断定要素，使其呈现很多新的特点跟新的抵触。为此，研究跟懂得这一成绩有着必定的现实意思。
