Globalization exploits the poor and the weak, and destroys traditional livelihoods. ii. It accentuates inequalities within and across nations. iii. It promotes global multinational corporations which, driven entirely by the profit motive, are totally insensitive to the negative externalities they cause. iv. It causes environmental degradation. v.  It undermines the sovereignty of the nation-state. I do not propose to visit these issues.
This is well-trodden territory and I do not have any comparative advantage to add value to the debate. I do want to address just three questions though. I have chosen these three, in part because they are less familiar themes, and in part because the debates around these issues have been reshaped by some new developments.
