Globalisation is where national barriers are removed and international trades and communication are increased. As globalisation affects countries and people all over the world, economies, and cultural factors play significant role. And its affect on movement across nations of: • Export, imports and trade • Technology • Finance • Labour • Disadvantages and advantages to globalisation And the ability to move and the possible movement across countries of those 5 elements. Australia has been involved in trade that comprises of, investment, financial flows, technology transfers and the moving of labour since its foundation as a colony.

Key characteristics of globalisation include improved technology, Non-Governmental Organisations, spreading of knowledge and importantly the movement of people and capital which this report will be focusing on. It is argued that globalisation would not be able to occur without the ease of movement of both capital and people between countries, but it is important to understand what effects globalisation has had on this integrated movement. European Union is an organisation that can be looked at when trying to find this as it is a closely integrated group of countries in Europe where the effects of globalisation are seen on a daily basis in almost all sectors of the member countries from education to healthcare. One of the numerous policies and agreements within the EU is the ability for both people and goods to move freely between
