Global Issues -- Globalization


            Globalization is the process of people, companies, and businesses integrating internationally. Globalization is driven by the modernization of our world and has both positive and negative impacts on the Irish economy. A positive of globalization is that it allows Ireland to specialize in products that they can produce the most efficiently. Ireland is the second most globalized country in the world, according to the KOF Index of globalization. Two factors that contribute to Ireland’s globalization are the location and the language. Ireland is located near Europe, Asia, and the United States of America, which benefits the country greatly in terms of globalization. English is one of the world’s most spoken languages, so it being a language Ireland is fluent in also benefits them due to no language barriers existing while trading.
