Even the most exposed countries handled the last round of financial shocks, in May and June 2006, relatively comfortably. Instead, the problem this time around is one that relatively calm times have helped reveal the predicted benefits of financial globalization are nowhere to be seen.

So there is a form of internal globalization which is happening, which is as important as external globalization.
