From the Paper:

"The globalization of markets is the merging of distinctly separate national markets into a global marketplace and tastes and preferences converge onto a global norm (Martin, 2007). The increased globalization of markets occurred with the reduction in trade barriers and the removal of restrictions to foreign direct investment."
"Many economists believe that all countries benefit from engaging in free trade agreements. This belief shapes the economic policy of many nations and is the premise for trading blocs. Trading blocs are groups of countries that form institutions to help manage, regulate and police the global marketplace. Nowhere has the world seen a better example of economic integration than in Europe (Hill, 2004)."
