The process by which regional economies, societies, and cultures have become integrated through a global network of communication, transportation, and trade. Economic globalization is the integration of national economies into the international economy through trade, foreign, direct investment, capital flows, migration, the spread of technology, and military presence; however, globalization is usually recognized as being driven by a combination of economic, technological, sociocultural, political, and biological factors.
