đ Globalization Overview
Globalization is described as a movement that has increased the global nature of exchanges of goods and services. In 2008, these exchanges accounted for 31% of the world's GDP, a significant increase from 18% twenty years prior, indicating a rapid pace of globalization. The script highlights two main drivers of this process: the opening of previously communist countries and the rise of the Internet, which facilitated global production organization for businesses. However, the financial crisis halted this momentum, with trade's share in global production falling below pre-crisis levels. The script poses the question of whether this is good or bad news, leaving it open for interpretation. It acknowledges that while globalization has lifted millions out of extreme poverty, it has also created losers, who may be a significant factor in the rise of populism. The future of globalization is presented as a matter of political and economic choice, with the potential for a shift towards data and big data-driven globalization.

Transcripts
La mondialisation qu'est ce que c'est ? C'est d'abord un mouvement.
C'est quelque chose qui devient mondial, ou plus mondial qu'avant.
Dans le langage courant, ce "quelque chose",
ce sont les Ă©changes de marchandises et de services.
En 2008, ces Ă©changes pesaient 31% du PIB mondial, c'est Ă dire de la
production de richesses de la planĂšte, contre 18% vingt ans plus tĂŽt.
Autrement dit, nous avons vĂ©cu une mondialisation extrĂȘmement rapide.
Le mouvement de cette mondialisation, c'Ă©tait 2 moteurs : d'abord l'ouverture
des pays autrefois communistes et puis ensuite l'essor d'Internet, qui a permis
aux entreprises d'organiser leur production aux quatre coins du monde.
Mais cette mondialisation-lĂ s'est arrĂȘtĂ©e avec la crise financiĂšre.
Le poids des échanges dans la production mondiale est inférieur
Ă ce qu'il Ă©tait juste avant cette crise.
Bonne ou mauvaise nouvelle ?
A vous de voir... Ce qui est sûr c'est que cette
mondialisation passée a tiré des centaines de millions d'hommes et de femmes
de l'extrĂȘme pauvretĂ©, et c'est important.
Il est aussi sûr que le mouvement a fait des perdants.
Des perdants moins nombreux que les gagnants, mais plus nombreux que
ce que l'on croyait jusqu'à présent... Et ses perdants constituent sans doute l'un
des ressorts essentiels de ce que l'on appelle aujourd'hui le populisme.
Que va devenir demain la mondialisation ?
La réponse à cette question est à la fois politique et économique.
Politique, parce que la mondialisation est un choix,
ce n'est pas un fait inéluctable.
La premiĂšre guerre mondiale avait mis
fin brutalement Ă une phase de mondialisation extrĂȘmement soutenue
pendant la fin du 19e siÚcle. AprÚs la seconde guerre mondiale, les pays avancés
ont ensemble décidé, au contraire, d'ouvrir leurs frontiÚres,
et aujourd'hui, le président des Etats-Unis,
Donald Trump, suivi par d'autres chefs d'Etats et de gouvernements
veut au contraire plutĂŽt fermer les portes.
RĂ©ponse Ă©conomique ensuite, car c'est aux entreprises de dĂ©cider oĂč elles veulent
produire. Avec les progrÚs de l'automatisation, avec aussi leur volonté
d'ĂȘtre plus proches de leurs clients, elles pourraient relocaliser leur production.
Une autre mondialisation pourrait alors prendre le relais :
celle des données, du big data.
