Globalisation in Class 10 Economics means the process of rapid integration or interconnection between countries through trade, investment, movement of people, technology, and ideas.

Simple definition (Class 10 level)

Globalisation is the process by which countries of the world become closely linked with each other through increased trade, investment, and movement of goods, services, people, and technology.

You can also remember it as:
“Making the world a single global market where production, buying and selling happen across many countries.”

Key features (for exam answers)

  • Rapid integration between countries – production and markets of different countries are getting connected.
  • More foreign trade – export and import of goods and services increase a lot.
  • More foreign investment – companies from one country invest money to set up factories, offices or services in other countries.
  • Role of MNCs (Multinational Corporations) – big companies produce and sell in many countries and link production across borders.
  • Movement of technology and information – new machines, ideas, and methods spread quickly from one country to another.
  • Movement of people – workers, professionals and students move to other countries for jobs, business, or education.
