The main cause of Portugal and Spain to begin the Age of Discovery  (Age of Exploration) in XV century is search for the new trade route to spice-laden East due to fall of Orthodox Christian Constantinople to the Ottoman Empire. Old trade routes being shuttered was great damage for Iberian merchants.

When the Byzantine empire fell to the Ottomans, the route to trading with the middle east and the a bit further east went down the drain because the Ottomans wanted to control it all. They often forbid others from trading or took large amounts of money as tax for the trade. Also, the Catholics didn't want their people going there and trading with Ottomans so that was another obstacle. This is why they decided that it was necessary to find a new route to reach India, for example, which didn't involve any dealing with Arabs or Turks. This was much more cost effective because they could trade directly with eastern people without middlemen.

¿porque el concepto de internacionalizacion de la economia seria insuficiente para definir la globalizacion?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

Es la economía mundial la que pensamos que está globalizada. Queremos decir que el mundo entero se está comportando cada vez más como si fuera parte de un mercado único, con producción interdependiente, consumiendo bienes similares y respondiendo a los mismos impulsos. La globalización se manifiesta en el crecimiento del comercio mundial como proporción de la producción (la relación entre las importaciones mundiales y el producto mundial bruto, GWP, ha crecido de alrededor del 7% en 1938 a alrededor del 10% en 1970 a más del 18% en 1996). Se refleja en la explosión de la inversión extranjera directa (IED): la IED en los países en desarrollo ha aumentado de 2.200 millones de dólares en 1970 a 154.000 millones en 1997. También ha dado lugar a que los mercados de capitales nacionales se hayan integrado cada vez más, hasta el punto de que unos 1,3 billones de dólares por día cruza los mercados de divisas del mundo, de los cuales menos del 2% es directamente atribuible a transacciones comerciales.

Si bien no se pueden medir con la misma facilidad, algunas otras características de la globalización son quizás incluso más interesantes. Una parte cada vez mayor del consumo consiste en bienes que están disponibles en las mismas empresas en casi cualquier parte del mundo. La tecnología que se utiliza para producir estos bienes está cada vez más estandarizada e invariable a la ubicación de producción. Sobre todo, las ideas se han convertido cada vez más en propiedad común de toda la humanidad.

Concerning contemporary cases about the establishment clause, the defining point in determining constitutionality in Van Orden v. Perry and McCreary County v. American Civil Liberties Union of Kentucky seems to be that of

secular versus religious purposes.

permit a system of segregated social facilities.

Whitepunk [10]
Both socialism and communism place great value on creating a more equal society and removal of class privilege.
