From a macro point of view, however, it only signifies that the era when the United States and the European Union (EU) set the rules of international affairs is about to end. The rising tide of regionalization and linking up of markets worldwide reflect the reality that globalization has affected every fiber of the world economy, while the rise of emerging economies symbolizes that globalization has entered a new era.

Only when the conductor grabbed her money bag and headed out the door did we follow suit.
