Re: The Dark Side of Globalization (none / 0)
Most countries are unable to hold control on a local level, so what control can we expect at a global level? It's not globalization by itself, but the free trade imposed as part of the globalization process. And free trade, I have to agree with you Chris, not always means peace (though this is one of the US slogans when imposing their economical system over other countries).

Be careful! Is it classified?

Re: The Dark Side of Globalization (none / 1)
The free trade liberalization creates niches, which are used by networks to distribute goods and services that are sometimes illegal. The implicit impact of free trade is under questions: the liberalization also
facilitates the easy access to the so-called "grey"
or even "black" markets that boom nowadays.

Re: The Dark Side of Globalization (none / 0)
Well said, you are completely on spot. But if you are trying to control the global market, who do you propose take control? Are you talking about a single power, or should every state regulate as mush as possible, by itself?
