Explanation

World trade has grown dramatically – countries increasingly interconnected. Benefits: access to goods not domestically produced, lower prices through competition, specialization increases efficiency.

Trade organizations: WTO (sets rules, resolves disputes), regional blocs (EU, ECOWAS reduce internal barriers). Trade agreements reduce tariffs and other barriers.

Critiques: unequal benefits (developed countries gain more), environmental costs (shipping, production in less regulated areas), job losses in some sectors. Globalization creates winners and losers.
