Ex. 2. Translate the following sentences into English in writing. Make use of the Vocabulary notes, if necessary.
Мировая экономика все больше становится единым экономическим целым. Страны развивают тесные связи через торговлю, инвестиции капитала и финансовые институты.
За последние два десятилетия практически во всех промышленных отраслях увеличилась доля экспорта и импорта.
Растущую долю в мировой торговле занимает внутриотраслевая и внутрифирменная торговля.
Внутрифирменное международное разделения труда влияет на отношения между развитыми и развивающимися странами главным образом потому, что ТНК осуществляют передачу трудоёмкого производства в развивающие страны, где есть дешёвый и достаточно квалифицированный труд.
Более тесная интеграция развитых стран ускорит дальнейшее разделение труда и будет способствовать его лучшей организации.
Доля развивающихся стран в мировой торговле постепенно снижается.
Индустриальные страны создали новые формы порабощения бывших колоний: технологические, продовольственные и финансовые. Им удалось интегрировать экономику развивающихся стран в мировую капиталистическую экономику и таким образом сделать их более открытыми для колебаний мирового рынка.
Рост цен на сырьё заставил западные страны предпринять меры по экономии сырьевых материалов, по развитию ресурсосберегающих технологий и по переработке промышленных отходов. Это снизило зависимость Запада от стран Азии, Африки, и Латинской Америки.
