Summary/Abstract: Human desire to create always the perfection, it is not just an ideal, but an awareness of a fact: perfection excludes problems. Human psychology - an element less heeded in economics - always is trying to fix only favorable activities, because in this way protects one of the problems that inevitably arise. Thus in terms of supply chain assets can be seen the same trend: each commercial operator wants to create the perfect system, advocating for all actors to be timely and precise in contractual obligations. However, the performance of all obligations from contracts eliminates much of the stress of economic activities as disputes will disappear. If the emergence of nation states blocked the expansion of large economic actors, acting as a strong barrier, technological development of the late twentieth century has allowed almost complete overcoming the boundaries of nations, establishing a phenomenon called globalization, which offers a great view of trades. Can we believe that since globalization became effective supply chain problem is resolved or is about to be solved permanently? Or, on the contrary, globalization appears to be the main threat in this dimension of the economy? This article aims to highlight the necessary facts to be known in this equation, using scientific methods from many sciences, such as legal, economic, and those that are used in sociology, geopolitics and psychology. Globalization requires a new paradigm not only on borders but also on the scientific approach to research, interdisciplinarity offering more precision in the analysis.
