Abstract
Since about twenty years, globalization has resulted in a display of multinationals, a development of the global networks, the international trade, the explosion of the volume of the foreign direct investments, the ascent in power of the Asian countries in the world economy. Certain countries took advantage more than others of the effects of the globalization, some of them built up to themselves a place in the world trade because of their specialization in it, others, as the industrial nations, undergo an increase in their internal disparities because of the competition of developing countries with low salaries. Therefore, globalization, through the positive effects of the international exchanges finding their base in the international division of the work, would be a factor of development, but would not it also be factor of increase in the disparities between the countries of the North as those of the South, or still worse, within a country?
