Abstract:
The paper tries to demonstrate that the globalization process of recent decades has been
weakened during the recent global recession. This process of deglobalization, the paper
demonstrates, can be seen in the decline of international trade, the rise of protectionism, and the
decline and certain changes in the pattern and destination of FDI. Prior to demonstrating the
above, the paper discusses the various dimensions and relative severity of this recent crisis,
which began during the last few weeks of 2007. By providing various historical example of
capitalist crisis in the United States or in England it argues that capitalism has frequently
witnessed altering periods of prosperity and recession or depression, often marked by a crisis of
finance.
