Economic globalisation and its implications for Poland

Globalisation is widely debated. Experts describe the phenomenon differently already at the definitional level. For some, it will primarily mean the creation of a new economic system on a global scale. The system in question is characterised by an increase in the intensity of the flows of capital, labour, trade, services and information across previously existing national borders. At the same time, the system creates new rules for the world economy, generates new economic actors determining development. For the representatives of the scientific option under discussion, it is the creation of a new quality of economic and political relations on a global scale that is of fundamental importance in global processes. At the same time, they emphasise the diminishing importance of existing institutional structures, especially those based on the territorial state. Consequently, they wrongly downplay the role of politics and factors related to a specific geographical territory.
