Technical or descriptive articles about these areas. (n.b. the globalization of technology and technology R&D, e.g. the World car, and technology development, Airbus, are fascinating aspects of globalization.)

However, the project recognizes the spelling "Globalisation" as per MOS:SPELL, which may be the preferred spelling in some articles related to our topic.
