Specifically, this insert begins with the conjecture that at this juncture, opinions differ on the future of IB and globalization, but that three scenarios predominate, specifically: Further globalization is inevitable. IB will grow primarily along regional rather than global lines. Powerful forces opposing further globalization and IB will slow their growth. Against this backdrop, some observers feel that people who work for international institutions, such as the World Bank or WTO, cannot adequately manage the complexities of an interconnected world. Based on this, one can reasonably conclude that these observers they anticipate that ________. A) globalization will slow in the future B) international business will grow primarily on a regional basis C) private companies will replace international organizations in running the world's economy. D) globalization is inarguably inevitable
