Abstract
Nowadays, we observe considerable geographic extension of exchanges and an increasing development concerning the economic, financial and cultural sectors. This phenomenon is called the globalization process and concerns developed and emergent countries. Even though lots of inequalities between a dominated South and a dominating North can be observed, the latter is witnessing significant economic growth due to liberalization and foreign capital. India can be considered a new emerging country with a skilled workforce, undergoing a massive urbanization process and attempting to catch up with the industrialized countries. Yet, is India's situation really enviable? Will the process of globalization lift India from its poverty? To answer this question, we will study the international gap between the 'haves' and the 'haves not', which is noticeably reducing thanks to globalization. However, as we shall later see, disparities continue to persist on a national scale.
