The issue of globalisation of the world economy has takencentre-stage in discussions relating to the process of economicdevelopment and the distribution of income between the developed anddeveloping countries. Although these are many current concerns,globalisation as such has occurred at different points in recorded humanhistory of the past several thousand years. The Roman Empire, forinstance, is quoted as one of the earlier examples of globalisation.More recently, the period leading up to World War I saw an increasinglyintegrated world economy under British Imperial rule. The most recentattempt at globalisation started in the late 1970s and continues to thepresent day.
