Desarrollo tecnológico y su impacto en el proceso de globalización económica: Retos y oportunidades para los países en desarrollo en el marco de la era del acceso by Armando M. Jiménez R.

“…El resultado de estos cambios ha sido el desarrollo de la producción económica de escala que ha ido acompañada por un desempleo estructural alrededor del mundo, además de la intensificación de presiones para la eliminación de las barreras al comercio y al flujo de capitales (ejemplo de ello es la creación de la organización mundial del Comercio en 1994) y la formación paralelamente de bloques económicos, tales como el tratado de libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN) y el Mercado Común del Sur, MERCOSUR, que complican el proceso de multilateralización patrocinado por la organización mundial del Comercio (omC). la investigación es de carácter descriptivo-analítico-documental centrando su disertación en las variables señaladas con especial énfasis en la vinculación entre éstas y su vinculación en el desarrollo de la era del acceso, concepto desarrollado por el candidato al premio nobel Jeremy rifkin (2000) autor de la obra: “la Era del acceso, la revolución de la nueva Economía”.…”
