"In 1995 the Madrid European Council asked for an examination of the likely effects of enlargement on the European Union. The report was to contain information pertaining to the consequences of enlargement in regard to agricultural and structural policies as well as a long-term budgetary outlook. Financial information was important because it was thought that enlargement would entail an extensive overhaul of EU economic policy in order to incorporate new member states."

From the Paper
"At the close of the Second World War, Heads of State from around the globe came together with the goal of ensuring that the devastation seen in that violent conflict would never again be repeated. One of their primary goals was to reinforce the European economy so that the continent could rise from the ashes of their broken cities and achieve the eminent philosopher Immanuel Kant?s dream of perpetual peace. The U.S. Secretary of State, George C. Marshall, devised a plan that would give Europe the aid it so desperately needed but only if the individual countries pulled together and launched a joint effort to revitalize their continent. This measure would ensure the impecunious economic conditions that indirectly brought Hitler, Mussolini and Franco into power would be avoided. As the years progressed and the wounds of war slowly healed, Western European economies began to integrate their coal and steel markets."

"ASIAN ECONOMIC INTEGRATION
There are many conceptual definitions of "economic integration" and the one chosen for this paper is that economic integration occurs when nationalistic concerns of an economy are set aside to integrate the economy more fully into the world economy.
Such a definition implies and confirms that the world has become so global that individual nations can no longer be allowed to maintain independent economic activities without consideration of the impact of those activities on other nations. This attitude was well expressed by Thai Deputy Foreign Minister Sukhumbhand Paribatra at a recent meeting of the annual East Asia Economic Summit: "East Asia and Southeast Asia must reject the temptation to seek individual salvation, because none of us can ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the spread and effect of globalization as a world economic model to facilitate commerce and financial integration. Additionally, the ill-effects of globalization are examined, such as outsourcing, which entails the migration of operations overseas to foreign borders. Outsourcing is particular savage for advanced economies such as the United States where first the manufacturing and production jobs migrate only to be replaced later by service and technology positions later.
From the Paper
"Globalization is the economic catchphrase of the 21st century. People use it to explain many things but when asked to define it, the term often defies explanation. One source defines globalization as: The integration of the world's culture, economy, and infrastructure driven by the lowering of political barriers to transnational trade and investment, and by the rapid proliferation of communication and information technologies. The term is often used in reference to the substantial impact of free-market forces on local, regional and national economies. (Globalization, Commanding... 1) The key points in the given definition would seem to be culture, economy, and infrastructure, since globalization is often blamed or praised for phenomena within each of these areas. Culture, because globalization tends to blur delineations between them; economy because globalization appears to benefit the more efficient economies; and infrastructure because the mechanisms of communication, transportation, and knowledge transfer facilitate it."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the growing awareness among Europeans that only a unified Europe can successfully meet the challenges of the future. The writer argues that only a strong global community, consisting of the European Union, the United States, Russia, China and other major powers of the world, committed to a global goal of growing prosperity, will be able to build a more peaceful future for all mankind.
From the Paper
?For more than half a century the western, integrated part of Europe has lived in peace and freedom and has, along with North America and Japan, formed one of the three most prosperous areas of the world. Just over the past 10 years, construction of a political union among EU member states has made considerable progress and closer cooperation has been established over a whole array of policies ? from economic and social to security and defense. In 1952 six countries came together out of the rubble of World War II to pool their basic production in the European Coal and Steel Community. The goal then, as now, was to bind Europe so tightly together that another war \"becomes not merely unthinkable, but materially impossible,\" as founding father Robert Schuman put it.?

The paper uses the example of the World Trade Organization to highlight the importance that a unified trade apparatus among nations plays in developing a global economy.

From the Paper
"Over the last 20 years, in tandem with the spread of globalization as the world's leading economic and financial model, the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its function as the leading international trade facilitator, has been the leading agent in the promotion of global business. In tandem with other international bodies, the WTO has spearheaded global business practices founded on the principles of free and fair trade and nowhere has this effect been more pronounced than in Asia and particularly in China (Mendoza & Bahadur, 2002, paras.2-8)."

The Global South and the Global North, 2007.

Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.
From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Abstract
This paper discusses globalization and global labour patterns. The paper argues that in a globalized world corporations are determining the labour conditions in both developed and developing countries. It suggests that the corporations are essentially making cheap, unskilled and flexible labourers.
From the Paper
"Globalization and Global Labour Patterns Globalization is one of the most controversial issues in politics and economics. In "Note on Terminalogy" David McNally defines globalization as, "The mainstream term for the new world Economy of the past twenty years" (McNally 9). How exactly has the world economy changed? While discussing the political and economic changes that have occurred over the last three decades Teeple explains, A system of highly integrated world trade was an irreversible fact by the end of the 1970s, confirmed and hastened by the new means of transportation and communications, whose increased productivity were transforming the worldwide distribution of products and hence the global conditions for valorization (Teeple 71)."

Globalization and Global Survival, 2005.
This paper discusses the effects and dangers of globalization.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This article examines the cultural, commercial, political and environmental effects of globalization. The writer then looks at the related challenges and dangers. The writer discusses how the existence of international monopolies together with the third world sweat shops and additional factors endanger global survival. The writer further discusses that globalization's exportation of environmentally and perhaps socially unsustainable Western materialism to populous developing nations such as India and China is also worrying for the future of the planet.
From the Paper
"Evidence of increasing hegemony by an ever shrinking number of multinational conglomerates is fuelling increasing concern regarding global cultural, commercial, political and environmental effects from such inequitable distribution of power. The creation of international industrial monopolies and massive fortunes of unprecedented size, accompanied as it is by equally massive down-sizing, unemployment, environmental degradation and the exponential increase of Third World sweat shops and child labor, seems to be leading to disaster on a global scale."

Abstract
The writer of this well-researched and informative paper details the history of the EU, established in 1993, as well as the Maastricht Treaty which was responsible for the successful economic integration within the member countries. This paper also cites the various drawbacks within the EU such as the lack of an armed force capable of more than just post-conflict interposition. This paper stresses the political vision and concepts behind the EU as well as the growing need for broader security structures and even more economic integration between the member countries.
From the Paper
"The European Union was established in 1993 with the Maastricht treaty that was responsible to bring about economic integration with the member countries. This is considered as one of the most powerful and strategic economic trade integration, and is responsible for contribution of nearly one-third of the entire world's trade. This has been so successful because of the fact that the west European countries have all formed together to form this agreement and have also initiated the single currency that is sued in this region called the Euro. Now after this the European commission is actually aiming at getting their political and commercial interaction with Latin America, and all effort is being put to get this done with as soon as possible."

Introduction
"The purpose of this research is to examine the increased economic integration which is slated to occur within the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1992.
