<P> Increasingly, non-governmental organizations influence public policy across national boundaries, including humanitarian aid and developmental efforts . Philanthropic organizations with global missions are also coming to the forefront of humanitarian efforts; charities such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Accion International, the Acumen Fund (now Acumen) and the Echoing Green have combined the business model with philanthropy, giving rise to business organizations such as the Global Philanthropy Group and new associations of philanthropists such as the Global Philanthropy Forum . The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation projects include a current multibillion - dollar commitment to funding immunizations in some of the world's more impoverished but rapidly growing countries . The Hudson Institute estimates total private philanthropic flows to developing countries at US $59 billion in 2010 . </P> <P> As a response to globalization, some countries have embraced isolationist policies . For example, the North Korean government makes it very difficult for foreigners to enter the country and strictly monitors their activities when they do . Aid workers are subject to considerable scrutiny and excluded from places and regions the government does not wish them to enter . Citizens cannot freely leave the country . </P> <P> Scholars also occasionally discuss other, less common dimensions of globalization, such as environmental globalization (the internationally coordinated practices and regulations, often in the form of international treaties, regarding environmental protection) or military globalization (growth in global extent and scope of security relationships). Those dimensions, however, receive much less attention the three described above, as academic literature commonly subdivides globalization into three major areas: economic globalization, cultural globalization and political globalization . </P> <P> An essential aspect of globalization is movement of people . As transportation technology improved, travel time and costs decreased dramatically between the 18th and early 20th century . For example, travel across the Atlantic ocean used to take up to 5 weeks in the 18th century, but around the time of the 20th century it took a mere 8 days . Today, modern aviation has made long - distance transportation quick and affordable . </P>
