The G8 originated from the Library Group, which was formed in 1973. It first met in 1975 when convened by President Valery Giscard d'Estaing of France and has met ever since then to address the most pressing issues of the day.

Effect of globalization on Indian economy?

Actually Globalisation happened in 1991 in India. Its main intention was to liberalise, privatise and Globalise the industrial sectors. before this industries were facing so much government intervention, so after that industrial sectors became almost free to make their own decision about establishing a new branch, producing the products and marketing etc,. Drastic change is that now the Indian counsumer is free to purchase the product which he likes from anywhere in the world. foreigners can also buy from India. so the economies off althe nations are interdependent on other. that's why we also have G8 and G20 summits.


What is the impact of globalization on India's agricultural sector?

Globalization affects every econmic sector - for the better nad worse, per se. In the agricultural sector, crop imports could be traded at cheaper prices, and could be exchange for another commodity becasue of the free trade - as entailed among the provisions of WTO. In this way, countries that rely primarily on agriculture (i.e. the Philippines), could purchase or import crops from another country at cheaper tariff rates, in case of a shortage. However, on the downside, countries that are more progressive agriculturally could just dump their third-rate or low-class products to their third-world trading counterpart. Thus, poor quality products could be received by the "lesser" country. "Quality Control" of the traded products is the main issue. The same thing holds true for the industrial sector. Exchnage of technoligical and industrial products will definitely exist. Both prducts may benefit mutually. Nonetheless, a possible detraction is again the instances of poor imported products from the superior countries, just like in the issue of the agricultural sector. Simply put, Globalization has its benefits as well as disadvantages. But generally, the free trade among nations - its exisitng policies - must be reviewed in order to protect the developing countries from receiving low-class imports. These countries are yet to adjust and compete globally, they are not ready to enter the fray and go head-to-head with the titans. Therefore, it must be imperative that the governing rules must be ammended. Although the free trade is yet to completely implemented, at least on the Philippine setting, nevertheless, it must be reviewed to protect and given cushion to the developing nations.
