WORLD ECONOMY GLOBALISATION

JENICEK, V.

Abstract
The concept of international relationships is of late being supplemented by other paradigms. One of these is globalisation1, which was induced by technological, social and cultural changes and which has shortened the economic distances among countries considerably. The improvement of transport and communication technologies has decreased the transport costs of commodities, capital, people and information. Traditional governmental policies limiting the trans-border transactions were mitigated or removed, with the consequence of increasing the international trade and foreign direct investments (FDI). Globalisation is changing the characteristics of world economy and influencing the base of the successful economic approaches to development, what in turn increases the need of securing the economic growth sustainability.

Key words:
globalisation, world economy, global economics, globalisation phenomena
