Will Globalisation Stall?

This was the focus of one of my macroeconomics lessons this morning. Globalisation has broken down barriers to trade in goods and services, to the flow of capital, to the movement of people and to the transfer of ideas through better access to technology. Globalisation has brought huge changes to the world economy, some of which are only in their infancy. But globalisation is not inevitable and we discussed some of the threats to globalisation as part of a lesson designed to improve evaluation skill.s The presentation used in the lesson is streamed here and can be downloaded from the Tutor2u website.
