An economy is a the state of a country or region in terms of the production and consumption of goods and services and the supply of money, and it can also exist on a national and global scale, therefore if countries trade goods and services with each other, their economies interact and this is known as globalization, this interaction of economies on a worldwide scale is else known as the global economy, where NICs have played a vital role in changing how it operates. An NIC (Newly Industrialised Nation) is a country where the industrial production has grown sufficiently since the beginning of the 1960s, and has therefore become a major source of their income as an economy.
NICs have started to make their mark on the global economy. As they

Due to the emergence of manufacturing within these countries in the 60s this very soon led to many NICs developing via an export led market. Whereby the traditional route taken by LEDCs in pursuit of economic development is that import substitution industries, previously imported manufactured goods from other countries have been replaced by goods manufactured and produced in the country itself, thus saving precious currency in the process. This therefore meaning that more countries will begin to adapt and utilize this technique of an export led market in aim of developing economically, which over time would result in a dramatic increase in a countries wealth. As for Singapore in the late 1960s the first factory was set up where the GDP per capita was US$925.28 then over the years it grew exponentially to US$26,262.28 in 1996 then to this date the GDP per capita stands at 4th in the world, given from data presented by the World Bank they had a GDP per capita of US$78,744 in …show more content…
They have not followed the typical model of import substitution with an aim of becoming self-sufficient, instead they have focused on exports, arguably preying on the on the healthy economic state of developed nations. But this activity isn’t sustainable within the global economy, from the 1960s to the 1980s the Tigers pursed this method of development, but by the 1990s their economies had expanded too fast and prices of property, stocks and shares had become overvalued. This caused many stock markets to crash and sparked a worldwide financial crisis, which required money from the IMF and external privatized companies. You could therefore say that they are drastically important within the global economy, for they are truly sculpting the global economy. Furthermore they can easily lose their competitive edge and collapse this was the case with the Asian Tigers by losing their competitive edge to latter examples of NICs such as China, which was devastating to their own economy and potentially their instability could remove a large portion of their influence on the global
In the 1500’s the world was run on an Independent world, which meant that all countries were depending on their selves. Throughout the early to late 1500’s countries were trading with each other for goods either with money or other goods that other countries were unable to produce themselves. There were trade circles all over the world that trade runners would travel to unload their cargo and stock up products they receive from trade. These countries were trading materials such as gold, sugar, tobacco, and metals, and other raw materials that were valuable. By the 1700 the world was turning more interdependent.
Globalization, whether measured as the increased exposure of domestic markets to the international economy or more broadly construed as the fast pace integration of national societies into a densely connected political, technological and social community, is widely seen as a relatively new phenomenon that offers risks as well as opportunities. Security in a globalized society in more ensured than ever before. For the Oceania Region of Australia consisting of Australia and New Zealand, globalization has reshaped the identity from a deep rooted past to a fluid, transparent society. Specifically, Australia has greatly relied upon the security that comes from being an active member in a global society.
Economy is the theory of trading something, in most cases, a currency of sorts, for a service or a good. The United States’ economy was first invented around the creation of the colonies. When the colonies declared independence from Britain, a more formal economy was developed to what it is today.the new world progressed from a small marginally successful economy to a large industrial economy by the late 18th century. Starting at trading of furs, we brought our newly found economy to light. This gave us a gate to the new superpower we didn 't know yet know about.
The U.S. Supreme Court developed the “effects on interstate commerce” test to allow interstate activities. This was meant to allow anyone to be accommodated at any hotels or motels. Most commerce is considered “interstate commerce” because most guest come from other states, which made motels and hotels subject to regulations. Although, the Supreme Court ruled that it wasn’t constitutional because it discriminated against certain races. Congress regulated the interstate commerce, being that most motel businesses are from people who are coming in and out of Georgia.

Considering that Korea was one of the poorest countries in the past, Korea stood at the thirteenth place in world’s largest economy in 2007. Korea also surpassed United Sates $20,000 mark in per-capita. Both were one of the greatest achievements that Korea achieved and it shocked not just the United States but also other countries around the globe. In addition, the world saw how South Korea was included in the list of countries that were able to recover quickly and efficiently when the Asian financial crisis occurred in 1997. The recovery post the Asian financial crisis embarked their path to innovation and genuine economical
Many western countries are now shying away from globalism as a whole. Globalist and nationalist have begun to clash and argue with each other, leaving the world asking which system the world should follow. In order to ensure prosperity and success for every country, globalism is needed over nationalism to an extend. Since the majority of trade any country does is international, and it’s been shown that individual economies are interdependent on each, the current state of everyone’s economy is global.
First and foremost, one must acknowledge the plainly visible fact that the Chinese economy has grown exponentially since the process of integration into the global economic system began. China 's comparative advantages, particularly in the labor sector, has transformed it into the second largest recipient of FDI in the world.1 Over the course of the last 20 years, exports have grown approximately 17.1 percent per year.2 This ultimate result of this investment and trade has been an overall growth rate 8 percent per annum,3 which would have been completely unattainable without the country 's engagement in globalization. Foreign investments have

1.0 Introduction “Governments should play active roles in managing short-run instability in the economy caused by unemployment and inflation problems. ” I strongly agree with this statement as far as my own country is concerned. Singapore, although a very small island of about 700 square kilometres in the South East Asia, is an international business hub. The population is about 5.7 million as of July 2015 which consists of Chinese, Malays, Indians and other emigrants like Filipinos and Caucasians.
Countries at one point or another started out as import substituting industries to get their economy going but South Korea, and other Asian countries, were fast to adopt EOI strategy to increase and
Nations engage in international trade because they benefit from doing so. The gains from trade arise because trade allows countries to specialise their production in a way that allocates all resources to their most productive use. Trade plays an important role in achieving this allocation because it frees each and every country’s residents from having to consume goods in the same time combination in which the domestic economy can produce them. During the past decade, China’s growing presence in Africa has increasingly become a topic for debate in the international system and among economists as well as policy analysts.
4.0 Implementation 4.1 Broader perspective Globalization is affected by various factors that drive towards its existence and formation in the society and a set of these macroeconomic factors. As per this analysis we can get an overview of the current economy of the country that helps the researcher to make relevant suggestions and recommendations that can benefit the economy as well as society to make them believe and trust that the globalization enhances their behaviour and life style. PEST Analysis: Source: Visual.ly website PEST Analysis of Saudi Arabia Political environment Giddens and Griffiths (2006, p. 59) states that mainly there are three reasons why politics has become one of the main drivers of globalization.
An economics field of study that applies both macroeconomic and microeconomic principles to international trade, which is the flow of trade among nations, and to international finance, which is the means of making payment for the exchange of goods among nations. International economics studies the economic interactions among the different nations that make up the global economy. Often this interaction is viewed in terms of the domestic economy and the foreign sector. The key economic principle underlying international economics is the law of comparative advantage. International economics is growing in importance as a field of study because of the rapid integration of international economic markets.
