  +Global Strategy I: How The Global Economy Works,global-strategy,https://coursera.org/learn/global-strategy,Business,University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign,"Starting in the late 1990s, “globalization” became a buzzword to describe the apparent integration of markets in the world economy. Many authors and pundits claimed that the world was converging towards a market-friendly democratic place, while gurus and consulting firms were not short of formulae and advice on how to make profits out of the global economy. Decades later, new realities show that globalization does not mean political, cultural, and economic convergence and that forces against it are strong.
