The Evolution and Unfolding of Financial Globalization

Dilip K. Das

Chapter 1 in Financial Globalization, 2010, pp 1-67 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The objective of this chapter is to elucidate the evolution, spread and unfolding of global integration, in particular financial globalization, since the mid-nineteenth century. While the primary focus is financial globalization, this cannot be totally separated from economic globalization. This chapter provides a preamble to the debate and essentially delves into the principal characteristic features of financial integration and related global economic developments. Unquestionably, global economic integration, in particular financial globalization, made impressive strides during the pre-World War I period and it has been extensively covered in the globalization literature. However, economic and financial globalization in the contemporary period for the most part surpassed that in the preceding periods by a sizeable margin.
