Globalization can be described as 『…a widening, deepening and speeding up of worldwide interconnectedness in all aspects of contemporary social life, from the cultural to the criminal, the financial to the spiritual』 (Held and McGrew 1999: 2). In these pages we portray some aspects of economic globalization, meaning the greater global connectedness of livelihoods, and of the proction of goods and services. International trade is the cross-border trade in goods and services. On these pages, it is measured by the sum of imports and exports, divided by the GDP of a national economy. The growth of international trade is a straightforward indication of economic globalization. When US residents, for example, read labels on their clothes showing they are made in China, Malaysia or Mexico, or decide to purchase a car made in South Korea, their sense of global connectedness is immediate. Investment is the conversion of money into some form of property from which an income or profit is expected to be derived. Foreign direct investments (FDI) are flows of money into a country that purchase a lasting stake in an enterprise for a foreign investor. These investments are direct in the sense that the investor purchases ownership rights in a specific company, rather than in a portfolio of stocks held by a broker, say. FDI does not include short-term investments, portfolio investments or currency flows. Foreign Direct Investment is an indication of growing transnational ownership of proction assets. It is a leading edge of economic globalization in the sense that increasing foreign ownership of proctive may give direct influence over livelihoods and proction. The implications of foreign ownership of proction may include both positive and negative elements, depending on the perspective of the observer. Foreign investment has often been an important avenue for the transfer of skills and technology. At the same time, foreign investment puts workers under foreign control, and leads to foreign appropriation of profits. 經濟全球化的過程早已開端，尤其是80年月以後，特別是進入90年月，世界經濟全球化的過程大年夜大年夜加快了。經濟全球化，有利於資本跟出產要素在全球的公道設置，有利於資本跟產品在全球性相幹圖書[1]活動，有利於科技在全球性的擴大年夜，有利於促進不興旺地區經濟的開展，是人類開展進步的表示，是世界經濟開展的必定成果。但它對每個國度來說，都是一柄雙刃劍，既是機會，也是挑釁。特別是對經濟氣力薄弱跟科學技巧比較掉落隊的開展中國度，面對全球性的激烈競爭，所碰到的傷害、挑釁將愈加嚴格。現在經濟全球化中急需處理的成績是樹破公平公道的新的經濟秩序，以保證競爭的公平性跟有效性。 經濟全球化是指貿易、投資、金融、出產等活動的全球化，即生活要素在全球範疇內的最佳共同置。從本源上說是出產力跟國際分工的高度開展，請求進一步超越平易近族跟國度疆界的產品。進入21世紀以來，經濟全球化與跨國公司的深刻開展，既給世界貿易帶來了嚴重的推動力，同時也給各國經貿帶來了諸多不斷定要素，使其呈現很多新的特點跟新的抵觸。為此，研究跟懂得這一成績有著一定的現實意思。
