Abstract
The internationalization of capital is gradually transforming the economic structures of most countries participating in the world capitalist system. The process involves the integration of individual countries and their constituent regions into an increasingly unified whole, in which each unit is expected to contribute to the needs of the whole. With the resulting greater freedom for international investment and trade, the market is expected to allocate resources efficiently to ensure higher levels of economic activity and income. Economists postulate that, ideally, the internationalization of capital will lead to an effective national and regional integration based on comparative advantages, which will improve the welfare of all participants.
