15. First wave of conscious Globalization 1870-1914: Colonial globalizers played a leading role in commercializing agriculture in new land and setting up industries and businesses. Sixty million migrated from Europe to North America and Australia to work on newly available land. Many millions from India and China moved to Southeast Asia and other colonial domains

16. Globalization in Retreat Against the backdrop of bitter national strife, world wars and revolutions, immigration doors shut and a rising protectionism chocked off trade. Between 1929 and 1933 U.S. imports fell by 30 percent and exports fell by almost 40 percent. Immigration to the United States declined from 15 million during 1870–1914 to 6 million between 1914 and 1950.

17. Second wave of Globalization 1945-1980 Led by Western multinationals Global ratios of exports to output returned to 1918 levels by 1970 and have since risen from 12 to 17 per cent. Developed countries grew wealthy but their persistent trade barriers to developing countries and the latter’s poor investment climates and anti-trade policies combined to keep them poor.

18. Third wave of Globalization 1980-2000 A combination of higher capital flow from the developed countries and reform in the developing countries of Asia made the region the centre of growth. Between 1965 and 1995 the real incomes per head of the Asian newly industrialized economies rose seven times, while their share in world trade increased more than fourfold. Opening of China in the early eighties and India in the nineties strengthened trade and investment flows.
