In the era of globalization, it is natural to assume that the desire of various countries to open doors for foreign goods and to unite national markets into a single global market, where the conditions of fair competition, the benefits of open trade will receive all participants.It would have been nice if more than one weight "but" - the level of development of the various states to date, significantly different.
International trade in technology most clearly illustrates these differences.It is hard to imagine what kind of technology, for example, the United States can buy from Burkina Faso.Of course, the movement is coming from the center of the world on its outskirts.And the trend does not change when the current world economic system.
Imagine that international trade in technologies based on free competition - it is a sporting event, for example, running.And healthy men are opposed to the five-year children.Of course, as the children will not try, they will never win this fight.Third world countries are also children - in today's global economy, who obviously have no chance of success.
But can these children grow up to then enter into fair competition with the developed countries, and they have all the time to be children?The second option seems more realistic.Judge for yourself, the international trade in technology is built around the sales of finished products of high technology or patents for a particular invention.Country procuring this kind of benefit, receives only the right to use them, but by no means develops the infrastructure to enable it to establish itself at "the production technology."
When it comes to the purchase of patents, for the introduction of new technology in the country of the buyer, should already have some infrastructure.If it is, it usually belongs to foreign companies.Thus, all the latest secrets still remain in the hands of developed countries and developing countries have to be content with the role of outsiders.
Do not forget about such interesting things as time lag.This term refers to the time after which a new technology enters the market, after the company-franchisor will gather the cream.Around this is built all international trade licenses.Each of you, probably, have noticed a feature that the product is first sold in developed countries and then gradually moving all in increasingly poor.So it was with mobile phones, mp-3 players, laptops.
turns out that the international trade in technology in its current format makes it virtually impossible to implement any shifts in the role of the various states in the world market.In this case, as far as it can be called fair and transparent?
By the way, the most in the removal of restrictions are interested just the same developed countries, since they receive from free trade is much greater benefit than developing countries.On this principle, and international trade in goods, services and international trade.Agitating developing countries to remove barriers, developed countries appeal to economic theory and recent promise tangible benefits.But do not forget that the major economies of today have made progress in terms of isolation and protectionism rather than under free trade.
In this case, it would be appropriate following questions.I do not like today's trading techniques for beating children?And is not it better for developing countries to seek by all means to develop their own science?Everyone will make their own conclusions for themselves.
