Many countries have opened their markets and have started increasing interaction with the world, which has significantly facilitated the growth of internationalization. Globalization of markets (as cited in Hout et al. 1982, 98) involves the growing interdependency among the economies of the world; the multinational nature of sourcing, manufacturing, trading, and investment activities; the increasing frequency of cross-border transactions and financing; and heightened intensity of competition among a larger number of players. This phenomenon has been stimulated by advances in communication such as ICT, development in transportation and the lowered trade barriers across the borders.

In Rachel St. John’s book A Line in the Sand, she describes the complex history of how the border between the U.S. and Mexico changed from just a simple line on a map to a full-blown barrier. Throughout the book she is able to continue to backup this claim while also introducing and supporting many other smaller, but very important points. These points are all backed up by a vast number of historical and reliable sources along with a lot of first-hand accounts. Her book is wonderfully comprehensive and has all the information anyone could dream of to have on the history of this border.
Globalization is the process of international integration best exemplified by increased trades, increased inter-connectedness of nations and their financial sectors and large-scale international migration. The United States and Mexico have a long history of economic relations with many believing that migration to the United States from Mexico being due to poor economic development in Mexico. Gomberg-Munoz conjectures that the labor migration "is generated not by a lack of economic development, but by development itself-and by uneven development in particular" (27). Initially for much of the 20th century, marked by treaties like the Bracero Program in 1942, the U.S. very much encouraged the migration of labor from Mexico to the U.S. But with the Bracero Program, employers began to work around the program's costs of hiring by networking through their current Mexican workers, thus easily bringing in the worker's families and friends to work undocumented (31).
The Mexican-American war was an armed conflict between the neighboring countries of the United States of America and Mexico. The war had a deep impact on citizens of both countries north and south of the border and left thousands dead on both sides as well as a large debt to be assumed and repaid to the Mexican government by the United States in exchange for territory. Greatly influenced by the annexation of Texas, the war also heavily influenced the beginning of the Civil War as it brought to attention the disagreement over the extension of slavery. The main objective of this paper is to bring to attention the causes that led up to the war and the short and long term effects that the war wrought. From a historical perspective, the Mexican-American
Second Wave of Mexican Immigration: Redefining the Immigration System Amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act (1976) The year 1970 represents the beginning of the second wave of Mexican immigration, when Mexican immigrants officially started to become the most predominant of all immigrant groups entering the US. To minimize new immigrants from entering the US illegally, the US government sought to redefine the current immigration acts to respond to escalating trend. Further amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act were passed by Congress in 1976, an attempt to restrict Mexican immigration even more than before by making labor certification requirements for employment visas stricter and officially places a fixed ceiling on
There have been many causes due to the United States of America and Mexico border disputes. These include its extensive history through sources such as the several past wars and the countless disputes between residents. With the strong issue of territorial claims that contradict each other, treaties have been seen as useless with an even more inadequate attempt of fence construction as seen in Image 1. With many bandits and thieves in this area, drug trafficking and illegal immigration is an impending dilemma.
In the 20th century Mexico many different revolutions, corruption, and, political leaders took part in molding the country into a commercial and economic developed country. A big change Mexico went through was the Mexican revolution and how it sat the bar for Mexican politics for the future. Mexico disregarded their government and forged their own path with drugs, civil unrest and distrust with the people. In the 20th century, Mexico has undergone a metamorphosis in its economy, political, and social landscapes.

3. Globalization Throughout the last decades, globalization became a real phenomenon, but history tells us that it is actually not a new social, historical phenomena, but has, under different names and manifestations, been with us for a long time. It is actually not only the continuation of the liberalization of international trade, which began in the mid-19th century with the launch of cross-border trade over long distances and later with intensive large-scale mobility of labor and capital. During capitalism, globalization has amplified due to the lust for profit, which is driven by capitalists across the globe. Indeed, globalization has significantly strengthened ever since.
I. INTRODUCTION a. BACKGROUND: Globalization is a process of interaction and integration among the people, companies, and governments of different countries, a procedure compelled by international trade and investment, and supported by information technology. Furthermore, this process has an effect on various other systems such as on the environment, culture, political systems, economic development and prosperity and lastly, on human physical well-being in societies around the world. “Since 1950, for example, the volume of world trade has increased by 20 times, and from just 1997 to 1999 flows of foreign investment nearly doubled, from $468 billion to $827 billion” (York, 2016). Technology has been another primary driver of globalization,
The exceptionally notoriety of the word 'globalization’ signals a require for caution. The word was barely utilized some time recently the late 1980s, indeed in scholarly circles, but nowadays you can barely open a daily paper without experiencing the term. It might effortlessly show up to is an elegant name utilized to assign wonders around which one has as it were the vaguest thoughts. However to dispose of the concept of globalization, and the huge consideration agreed the marvels it envelops, on such grounds, would be silly. There is a genuine require for a common, non-specific term to portray the complex, multi sided ways in which the world is inter-connected, and progressively so.
Nowadays, in the light of the development in technology, especially in transportation and media, trade and communication has increased rapidly among countries. This trend is called globalization. Generally speaking, globalization has its own advantages and disadvantages. The development in international trade and communication has created employment and opportunities for millions of people, but it has also made poor countries poorer. In my opinion, globalization has both positive and negative aspects.
Economic globalization refers to the free movement of goods, capital, services, technology and information around the world. Since the 1990s, due to the improvement of advanced communication technologies and the rapid expansion of multinational corporations, economic globalization has become an important trend of the world economic development. This trend not only provides a broader space for international markets for all countries, but also aggravates the competition among countries for market and resources. Economic globalization is an inevitable result of the development that no country can evade. In this paper, we will discuss that economic globalization is beneficial or not to developing countries.
However, globalization is controversial. The proponents of globalization claim that it gives an opportunity to the poor countries to grow and develop economically. On the other hand, opponents claim that free market has benefitted multinational corporations at expense of the local people, culture and enterprises. The management concepts create a significant
