Martin Khor (Wirtschaftswissenschaftler) erklärt in diesem Buch, was die wirtschaftliche Globalisierung für Handel, Finanzen und Investitionen wirklich bedeuten. Er kritisiert die undemokratischen Eingriffe der westlichen Regierungen im internationalen politischen Prozess. Es wird erläutert, wie die bisherige Globalisierung die Wirtschaftskraft der meisten Länder schwächt und soziale Ungleichheit und Armut größer werden läßt. Er widerlegt die Politik von WTO, Weltbank und IWF, die vorgeben, Entwicklungsländern mit Einheitsvorschriften zu mehr Wohlstand zu verhelfen.

Work Description
This paper examines the implications of some of the main features of the globalization process for developing countries. It also makes several proposals for developing countries in considering national-level policies to face the globalization challenge, as well as coordination among developing countries in facing negotiations or making proposals at the international level. While there are many aspects to globalization, among the most important is the recent globalization of national policy-making not only through the normal spread of orthodox theories but more importantly through international agencies, such as the Bretton Woods institutions and the World Trade Organization, through which the North has leverage over the South. The paper examines the liberalization of trade, finance and investment as well as policy implications and choices in each of these categories. It is argued that, while there are some advantages to an open regime for developing countries, the impact of openness depends on a country’s level of development and preparedness to take on the challenges of subjecting local production units to foreign competition, of being able to break into world markets, and of weathering the volatility and fickleness of private capital flows and their propensity for lending recipient countries into a debt trap. It is therefore imperative that developing countries be given the possibility to have an adequate range of options, of when, how and to what extent to open their economies. For them to maintain the choice of flexibility in policy options, developing countries have to collectively press their case in international forums and institutions where decisions on the global economy are made. Failure in doing so would mean that developing countries will continue to be subjected to international and national policies that are unsuitable to their development, and that more than ever close off their development prospects and options.
