- Growth of international trade.
- Production is manufactured worldwide by multinational companies, which have branches in many countries.
- Increase of financial flow due to investment and speculation in order to get profits or funding.
- Interrelation of the whole world, where a decision taken in a part of the world affects the entire planet.
