From ancient times of economic exchanges between communities and countries have been woven. The world has since built and enriched based on the intensification of these exchanges, despite periods of crisis or instability.
The fall of the Berlin Wall has opened a new page of history marked by an expansion never previously known of trade in goods and services, financial exchanges and the flow of information and knowledge. Globalization, since it is about, then a promise of political stability, economic growth and happiness through it opened new horizons. The erasure of the Soviet system makes it possible to hope the prospect of a convergence of world economies and the emergence of a world order more peaceful and more just.
The globalization of trade, a sign of growing interdependence between people, human activities and economic and political systems, is a source of questions and issues. With the development of new information technologies and communication, we are witnessing a boom in cultural exchanges, scientific, technical, expansion of democratic ideas, essential to progress in terms of respect for human rights ... Global growth has helped out more than 350 million people out of poverty.
Nevertheless, the challenges are still significant worsening inequality, hunger, environmental impacts ... Today, it is important to understanding the elements and restore an objective picture of globalization, highlighting the ambitions of expanding trade between men and women from all continents.
The balance of the economic impact is unquestionably positive and beyond it the promise of a new political order that we must support and mentor with the rules so that the weakest do not become excluded. As such, we reiterate what we said Lacordaire, 150 years ago "between the strong and the weak, the powerful and the poor, is the freedom that enslaves and the law that liberates." Thus, Prometheus finally unleashed globalization which gives unprecedented power, claiming rules, barriers voluntary, that will not be a danger to himself.
