Hi! Thanks ofr the question.

Here are some opportunities given by globalization. I highly suggest
that you read the links in their entirety so as to get a better grasp
of the concepts.

- ?A country?s investment is no longer constrained by what it can save itself?

- ?A country?s producers can have access (at a price) to the most
advanced technology.?

?GLOBALIZATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES?
http://www.unescap.org/pdd/publications/regcoop/ch1.pdf 


 - ??lower transport costs and reduced tariffs make goods produced far
away more affordable.?

- ?The more internationalized the world economy, the more use
producers in each country can make of commodities and production
processes invented elsewhere.?

- ??in the information age, an integrated global marketplace will
accelerat the transfer of technology. And it is only by accelerating
the transfer of technology that poor countries have a chance of
growing rapidly.?

- ?The industrial core has lots of money to lend to the developing
periphery. Economies should embrace such inflows of capital, for they
provide an opportunity to cut a decade or more off of the half-century
process of industrialization.?

- ?Removing trade barriers reduces the scope of the government. That
reducation, in turn, reduces the inevitable corruption, stagnation??

"Globalization" and "Neoliberalism" by J. Bradford DeLong
http://econ161.berkeley.edu/Econ_Articles/Reviews/alexkafka.html


- ?larger private capital inflows 
 
- ?increasing integration of developing countries into the global
economy represents a major?perhaps the most important?opportunity for
raising the welfare of both developing and industrial countries over
the long term.?

- ?Rapid advances in telecommunications and information technology are
expanding the boundaries of tradability in services?the
fastest-growing component of both trade and foreign direct investment.
For developing countries, promising new avenues for exports are
opening, especially in relatively labor-intensive long-distance
services?data processing, software programming, clerical and
professional services?

- ?In services especially, costs in developing countries are typically
a small fraction of those in industrial countries.?

- ?Industrial countries also stand to gain significantly from the
dynamic effects of trade integration arising from the spur to
investment, innovation, and productivity growth provided by increased
market size, competition, and technology spillovers.?

- ?Trade with developing countries will spur other industries and
services in industrial countries where the latter will retain
comparative advantage.?

?Globalization: New Opportunities, Tough Challenges? by ZIA QURESHI
http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/1996/03/pdf/qureshi.pdf


- ?The World Bank estimates developing countries would gain about US
$100 billion a year if developed and developing countries removed all
their trade barriers against developing country exports.?

?Globalisation: Global Opportunities And Global Responsibilities? by
Alexander Downer, MP
http://www.foreignminister.gov.au/speeches/2003/030724_globalisation.html


- ?The advent of international advertising, electronic communications
and wide access to the mass media have fed a worldwide public appetite
for new and more products, and for travel. Rising affluence has
fuelled the 'Western' model of consumption, and its emulation all over
the world.?
