    The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF): Presentation and analysis. Globalisation has resulted in a ceaselessly increasing growth of the commercial and financial flows in comparison to that of the respective domestic national outputs. This opening up of economies is not simply the reserve of developed nations. One of the characteristics of this second wave of globalisation (after that of the late 19th century) is the introduction of emerging markets in international economic relations. The countries of the South are competing with the countries of the North and are pushing the latter to restructure, most often via a process of deindustrialisation. This specialisation inevitably poses problems in terms of distribution of wealth both on the global level as well as within each country itself. To put it crudely, there are winners and there are losers. It consequently appears important to put mechanisms into place which allow the redress of this inequality in treatment. This article presents the EGF aiming to confront the negative effects of globalisation and analyses the methods of intervention.
