Globalization and Standardization

摘要

In the spring of 2015,we decided to write an article on the relationship between globalization and standardization. Between us we have more than seven decades of experience in the world of globalization and standardization. Given the general understanding that standards control access to virtually every market in global commerce, and directly affect more than eighty percent of world trade, our basic conclusion is that the relationship between globalization and standardization is, or should be, a critical area of understanding for policy makers all over the world.
