Cohen elucidate parts of the world are being pulled together due to reduced cost of travel and increased communication.

Schaeffer clarifies globalization "affects some people more than others and can have very different consequences." Williamson believes it is the less developed countries that have not been able to integrate with the economy as quickly as others; he claims this is due to their policies or factors out of their control.
