In general, the period after World War II through the Modern Era has been characterized by increased globalization.
Globalization can be defined as a phenomenon of integration and interaction among people, governments and companies at a global scale that reaches not only trade, but also culture and ideas.
After World War II, this phenomenon grew substantially due to the many international institutions that aimed at fostering trade and agreements among countries and due to many other novelties that were not usual before, such as aviation, neoliberal policies, exchange programs and, of course, new means of communication.
