Impact of Globalization on Strinidal Economy

Introduction

Economic globalization is the creation of a global market that results in abolishing all trade barriers to allow free movement of capital: financial, commercial and productive. Globalization offers great opportunities to a country to achieve a truly global development. Under the influence of outward-oriented policies, the countries of East Asia, which were among the poorest in the world 40 years ago, turned into a vibrant and prosperous countries (Chang & Lee, 2010).  Adverse external events have compounded the difficulties for many of them, especially in African poor countries (Barlowe et al., 2009). This paper elaborates the role of economic globalization and evaluates the possible gains and risks of deeper globalisation for Strinidal before accepting the International Monetary Fund and World Bank recommendations.

Methodology

Descriptive research methodology has been adopted in this research to explore the fundamental impact of gains and risks of deeper globalisation for Strinidal. Secondary information has been used to assess the role of globalization in other countries, which makes the basis of analysis for Strinidal. Annual economic analysis reports of different countries have been used along with peer-reviewed journal articles to assess the role of globalization in economic growth, and benefits of comparative advantage in economy growth. Statistics about economic factors were obtained from the economic analysis reports of multiple countries obtained from Euro Monitor and Europa World Country Profile Reports.
