Globalization and Developing Nations

Paper Summary:

The following paper outlines how third-world sovereignty has been diminished by globalization. Chiefly, the paper looks at the realities of an interconnected global economy as well as the rise of new technologies that make it easier for MNCs and NGOs to move capital and human resources across national borders. The paper also looks at what all of this means as well for big business.

From the Paper:

"Globalization has greatly impacted the sovereignty of developing countries in two fundamental ways: it has made the national governments of fledgling states vulnerable to control at the hands of western multinationals; and it has compelled non-western nations to adopt western labour standards and western labour regulations. As it pertains to international business, it may be said that the subordination of third-world sovereignty to globalizing phenomena is a double-edged sword insofar as, yes, international business can more easily than ever before transport its business holdings and assets to countries congenial to its interests but, at the same time, the western labour standards the international business community eagerly seeks to avoid can be enforced even in third-world states."
