Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectivity of the world's economies, cultures, and populations through cross-border exchange. It has had a huge impact on modern economies, as countries now represent and export their cultures to attract foreign interest and income. Globalization is an uneven process, as the global economy has become more integrated but also more unequal, with some developing countries gaining more by capitalizing on opportunities while more isolated nations struggled to change policies successfully. Globalism involves worldwide coordination of economic and foreign policy, while globalization is the process by which organizations expand their operations on a global scale.
