Abstract

Since 1995 and the establishment of the WTO, the quick spread of new technologies, and the increasing interdependence between countries, supporters and detractors of globalization have been arguing about whether globalization actually exists and if its effects are positives or negatives for the business and/or the welfare of the entire human population. The purpose of this assignment is to analyse and assess the following statement made by kofi annan in 2000 concerning globalization: "It has been said that arguing against globalization is like arguing against the laws of gravity." globalization has its defenders and its protestors. In order to better understand each point of view and to assess kofi annan' statement, we will first explain what is globalization. We need to compare different definitions to have a neutral and general definition on which everybody agrees.
