The first known published use of the term ''globalization'' in a geographic sense was in 1944<ref>http://www.wordorigins.org/index.php/site/comments/globalization</ref>.

Theodore Levitt is often credited with first using the term in an economic sense in 1983<ref>Levitt, Theodore. ''Globalization of markets''. Harvard Business Review, 1983.</ref>.

The literature search reported in (Busch, 2007) shows that the occurrence of both "globalization" and "globalisation" was very rare in book and article titles before 1985.
