The first phenomenon is technological changes in the processing and dissemination of information related to finance and production. The second is the international spread of the technical competence necessary to use these advances efficiently.The articles in this volume of The Annals are presented to illuminate important dimensions of the globalization process.

The last group of articles considers cultural and other changes associated with globalization.…
