Résumé du document

Since about twenty years, the globalization has been characterized by the spreading of the multinationals, a huge development of worldwide networks, of international commerce, the explosion of the foreign direct investments' volume, the increase in power of the Asiatic countries in the global economy.
Beyond those entire phenomenons, a statement: all the countries are not equal in front of the globalization. Indeed, some countries have benefited much more than others from the multiple globalizations' effects: some of them have created themselves a place in the global commerce owing to their specialization; others, as the industrialized countries, suffer from an increasing of their intern inequalities because of the law-salary countries' competition.
By this fact, the globalization, trough the international exchanges' positive effects (finding their base in the international work's division), would be a factor od development and economic growth, but also a factor of inequalities increasing as well between the North and South countries as inside of the countries.

[...] The particular histories individual, local, national - continue, reformed, but not erased, by the globalization. The old structures stays, as layers being superposed and mixed: families, cities, nations, States, cultures, religions The globalization offers to the humanity two extreme ways. Either the globalization gives the men the feeling to be locked down. Such a feeling would increase the fears, the frustrations, the wars, the man feeling deprived of any liberty, of any infinity. Either the globalization gives birth of the awareness of the human unity. The humanity enters into history. [...]

[...] Is the globalization escaping from us? I did my best to focus on the globalization's costs and advantages, trying not to get lost in economic details. The globalization as founding of the Western modernity and carrier of beneficial norms and rules Factor of dynamism and economic progress The globalization can be considered as a factor of development thanks to the positive effects generated by the international exchanges between the North and the South and the work division.

[...] We find the inequalities again at the salaries level. In the United States, the growth has only for 25% of the population: the lowest salaries have diminished and the wealthiest workers have seen their incomes increase. How can we explain that? The incomes inequalities that go deeper and deeper in the heart of the rich countries would be due to the globalization and trough it the competency between the developing countries and their low incomes. The big losers are the non-qualified workers. [...]
