Abstract:
There have been various viewpoints on some of the causes and effects of globalisation. Some of the discussions surround; globalisation's potential to benefit humanity, globalisation already works but can be improved to reap potential benefits, and globalisation creating access to resources solely dependent on markets and wage labour. This paper highlights remarks made by the presidents of the United States (US) and China representing their perspectives on globalisation. The former US President Barrack Osama was quoted saying, 'Rapid changes and globalisation have led to a populist backlash that has supported the election of protectionist politicians with anti-integrationist policies". Similarly, President Xi of China was quoted saying, "Economic globalisation was once seen as the treasury cave found by Ali Baba, but now it has become the Pandora's Box in the eyes of many. This paper therefore reviewed the Populist backlash to globalisation, Economic globalisation, its perceived uncertainties and explore the various dimensions of globalisation.
