INTERLINKING PRODUCTION ACROSS COUNTRIES:
1. In general, MNCs set up production where it is close to the markets; where there is skilled and unskilled labour available at low costs; and where the availability of other factories of production is assured.
2. The money that is spent to buy assets such as land, building, machines and other equipment is called investment. The investment made by the MNCs is called foreign investment.
3. The benefit to the local company of such joint production is two-fold.
(i) MNCs can provide money for additional investments, like buying new machines for faster production.
(ii) MNCs might bring with them the latest technology for production.
4. But the most common route for MNC investments is to buy up local companies and then to expand production.
5. Many of the top MNCs have wealth exceeding the entire budget of the developing country government.
6. We see that there are a variety of ways in which the MNCs are spreading their production and interacting with local producers in various countries across the globe.

8. As a result, production in these widely dispersed locations is getting interlinked.FOREIGN TRADE AND INTEGRATION OF MARKETS:
1. Foreign trade creates an opportunity for the producers to reach beyond the domestic markets i.e., markets of their own countries.
2. For the buyers, import of goods produced in another country is one way of expanding the choice of goods beyond what is domestically produced.
3. In general, with the opening of trade, goods travel from one market to another.
4. Foreign trade thus results in connecting the markets or integration of markets in different countries.WHAT IS GLOBALISATION?

THE STRUGGLE FOR A FAIR GLOBALISATION:
1. People with education skill and wealth have made the best use of new opportunities.
2. On the other hand, there are many people who have not shared the benefits.
3. Fair globalization would create opportunities for all and also ensure that the benefits of globalization are shared better.
4. The government can play a major role in making this possible.
