GLOBALIZATION AND INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

Considering the dimensions of globalization and how this factor affects both national and international companies, it is important to mention a concept that is closely linked to globalization and its economic aspect, which is Corporate Social Responsibility. However, what is Corporate Social Responsibility? according to what Cajiga (n.d.)  mentioned , while Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is inherent to the company, it has recently become a new form of management and do business, in which the company ensures that its operations are sustainable in economic, social and environmental terms, recognizing the interests of the different groups with which it is related and seeking the preservation of the environment and the sustainability of future generations. It is a business vision that integrates respect for people, ethical values, community and the environment with the management of the company, regardless of the products or services it offers, the sector to which it belongs

According to the Real Academia Española, globalization is a process whereby economies and markets, with the development of communication technologies, take on a global dimension, so that they increasingly depend on external markets and less the regulatory action of the Governments, as well as a worldwide diffusion of the modes, values or trends that promote the uniformity of tastes and customs. Mittelman (1996) considers that globalization is a fusion of transnational processes and domestic structures that allow the economy, politics, culture and ideology of one country to penetrate into another.
