economic links between different countries are formed and developed over a long time.Today, many people, from students and ending with retirees, easily operate with the terms "international economy", "crisis", "gross domestic product".However, there were times when all of these concepts and definitions do not exist.Economic cooperation between the two countries was reduced to the simple exchange of goods.In China, made of silk fabric, and in Central Asia - cotton.In Europe, silver was mined and smelted other metals.It also built the most high-speed sailing vessels that were used for trade with "foreign countries" and to conduct military operations.
At a certain stage of development of human civilization it was believed that the global economy - is a certain amount of national farming systems that communicate with each other marketable products.Spain supplied to England wine and fruit, and in return received looms and steam engines."Game sharing", as they call this process is a well-known researcher of the development of trade relations, originated in ancient times and continue to operate today.Of course, the modern international economy is a complex and multifaceted system that is quite different from its ancestor.
In this context, it should be noted that some fundamental principles are preserved.Only the exchange of goods is now taking place in many different ways.Today, every EU citizen has the opportunity to purchase the desired items or complex household products directly from the manufacturer, which is geographically located in China.This internationalization of the economy was made possible by the emergence and rapid development of information technology.It should be added that this term is meant not only trade in goods, patents, machinery or financial resources.
characteristic feature that distinguishes the present situation - this is an opportunity for everyone, not only to get the goods in such a way, but also to find a job outside of the state, of which he is.The mechanism of this kind of international economics of the individual has never in history has provided.There are grounds to say that the processes of this kind undermine the foundations of the nation-state.But, on the other hand, they offer the opportunity to acquire new technology, upgrade existing enterprises and create new ones, thereby improving the standard of living of its citizens.
commonplace nowadays have become joint ventures.At the same time, the emergence of transnational corporations recorded more than a hundred years ago.The peculiarity of this company is that its national identity can not be determined.Its structural units are located, figuratively speaking, on all continents.And the above examples do not exhaust the list of the characteristics that has acquired international economics today.The process of development will continue in the future.
