Globalization as the dominant
paradigm for development
• Flow of goods, services, finances, people, knowledge,
information, and culture across borders
• Production organized along value chains that go back and
forth across borders
• Emergence of international institutions (e.g., UN, WTO, WB,
IMF, etc.) and cross-border forms of corporate organization
(MNCs)
• International trade and investment liberalization rules
• National policies to encourage liberalization
This model certainly has benefited
development, at least in some countries
