Neoliberal Globalization Paper

In the era of neoliberal globalization, states have more interconnectedness and interdependence with each other for the global economy to prosper. Meanwhile, Significant changes have occurred in the nature of international trade and commodity production for the past decades. These changes also lead to new geographic, social, and political divisions of labor worldwide. Moreover, social and political consequences of these transformations have begun to take effects on a global scale. In this essay I am going to explain such transformations and illustrate the ideas above.

The methods and protocols of all the articles are efficient, reliable, and accurate. They provide accurate data on the prevalence of WMSDs in the automotive manufacturing industry. Automotive manufacturing companies in two different countries (also different continents) are observed in order to get the most accurate results. The research shows the prevalence of WMSDs, but do not clearly examine the consequences in terms of worker productivity (Nur et al., 2014). Only a indefinite link has been established between WMSDs and worker productivity. Another aspect that could have been further examined is the current health state of the worker. Previous health issues could increase the risk of musculoskeletal disorders, which may not be due to the nature of the work. Lastly, there are numerous different types of disorders caused by work. Further research should be done in order to classify

Everyday millions of people drive or walk to work in the morning and then return to their home in 8-10 hours or come home every week or two with a good sized paycheck. Usually this luxury is taken for granted, because the money that is earned is always enough to supply our everyday need and the work day is finished before the next night. Working conditions were not always this good. These good working routines gradually came into action growing from the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution brought about many factories and along with the factories came more workers who had few safety regulations to protect them.

Within the last 60 years, Third World development has been a global priority, at the top of virtually every Western agenda. And with the rise of the global population and poverty levels continuing to rise along with it, it is very easy to see why human development is becoming such a topic of focus and discussion among members of the academia. But one question that everyone wants the answer too is, how does Third World development fit into Globalization? Despite apparent compatibility, when closely examined it is clear to see that Globalization actually contradicts Third World development due to the conflict of agendas. Both Globalization and Development hold views concerning market reform, social structure and regulation, which are

This worksite has both absolute and relative disparities in worker injuries. According to the given chart, farmworkers experienced the largest total number of injuries, with 18 of 50 people injured in 2012. Twice as many farmworkers were injured when compared to packers or butchers, two categories of workers that each sustained nine injuries. So the farmworkers’ claim of having the greatest number of workers is not only true, but it is enhanced with compelling evidence that more of their workers got injured than others.

In addition, as a result of labor, the workers are robbed of their health, intelligence, and individualism making them alienated from their true essence. Any sort of trauma to one’s body will inhibit an individual from doing the activities that they once were able to act in, therefore alienating them from who they are or used to be. Also, a loss of intelligence and individualism can result in one not being able to think for

This project focuses on worker injury rates in the workplace and its findings may affect how future health and

‘Neo liberalism is responsible for most of the global economic problems we are experiencing today’

Canada’s previous conservative government signed a lucrative deal that would see the country export $15 billion worth of light armored vehicles (LAVs) to Saudi Arabia. It is pertinent to note that Saudi Arabia performs exemplarily poorly when it comes to observing human rights. The deal was struck between the conservative government and Saudi Arabian National Guard, which mainly protects the royal family. With a past record of consistently mistreating citizens with unpopular views, there is little guarantee that the arms sale will not be used to violate innocent civilians’ human rights in the future. Intriguingly, the current liberal government has declared its unwillingness to suspend the shipment. This paper explores realist and neo liberal

However, although globalization has helped several countries, "in some developing countries, foreign aid and investments are not relieving widespread poverty, and policies forced by global institutions like the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank have created more harm than good, because the policies are based on models constructed by the developed countries and are not customized for each developing country 's situation" (2003).

The genealogy or origin of neoliberal globalization began in the second half of the 20th century. Neoliberalism came into existence as form of government in many countries around the world. Neoliberalism is essentially a reassertion of class power where the rich become richer and with the removal of bureaucratic and state hurdles one is able to facilitate and strengthen the deregulation of capitalism. To the individual, neoliberalism implies that rationality, individuality, and self-interest guide all actions. It’s viewed as a global social science capable of explaining human behavior since all behavior is in fact thought to be directed by logical, individualistic, and selfish goals.

According to Sager 2011, neoliberalisation represents uneven development and its policies are ultimately fostered by neoliberal regimes. It involves a power move from government to private strategies which serves business companies and their few favored customers than the economy. The current neo-liberalization of many societies is shaped by economic globalization

Since the 1990’s and the rise of globalization in the 1970’s, neoliberal economic change have transformed transnational markets and contributed to many social implications. This paper will explore the impacts as well as the factors that contributed and shaped the global economic changes in the post-Cold War era. This paper will also explore globalization and neoliberal economic shift through India, China, Russia, and Morocco’s economies. This paper argues Thomas Friedman’s view that while economic shifts are decisions made by individual economies, at the same time were inevitable, as to compete in the global market it is necessary to partake in neoliberal economies. This paper also discusses the idea that globalization is merely an extension of colonialism and imperialism and that impact on developing nations and economies through their interactions with the Washington Consensus.

Beginning in 1980, the International monetary Fund (IMF) started to impose Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP) on African debtor nations. SAP’s have been imposed on 36 African Sub-Saharan countries under the assumption that neo-liberal reforms lead to economic growth and an increased standard of living.

The stagnation of the global Southern countries in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Africa occurred in the 1970s and 80s when these countries “found themselves trapped by levels of debt to international public and commercial banks” (Williams, 1994:214). Fearing another global depression, large banks and organisations such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) embarked upon structural adjustment programs (SAPs) in these heavily indebted countries with the aim of restructuring their ‘traditional economies’-- seen in the global North as ‘symptoms of backwardness’ (Moser, 1994). The ability to qualify for monetary aid from the global North was “conditional on the adoption of a range of policies” (Craig and Porter, 2003:60) set out by these organisations believed to be necessary for debt sustainability; central to which was the theory of ‘neoliberalism’. The first main condition was the devaluing of the local currency, intended to encourage exports and limit imports (Williams, 1994), with the second policy agreement being the reduction in the size of the government bureaucracy. The initial reason for the debt pile-up in these countries was seen as being due to governmental mismanagement, and therefore money was allocated for the restructuring of the state governments in order to correct their inefficiency. As a result of the withdrawing
