From the Paper:

"The interconnectedness of the world since the early 1990s has been described principally as globalization. The move to what has been called the "global village" has emphasized borderless activity, opening up of markets, sharing of technology, human capital, skills and experience, as well ideas of political development and culture. This is not to say the idea of globalization is new, as from the beginnings of the industrial revolution in the mid 1900s, in European countries and elsewhere, trends and traces of what has now been so termed, popularly, has always been existent, but not until the late 20th century made distinct and given widespread attention."
