In what ways has the current era of globalization been guided by the doctrine of neoliberalism?

What will be an ideal response?


Varies. Students should discuss that the current era of globalization has been guided by the doctrine of neoliberalism, or free trade, which urges nations to eliminate barriers to the movement of goods and capital. The North American Free Trade Agreement mentioned on several occasions in this book is an example of a neoliberal policy. These policies open less-developed nations such as Mexico to consumer goods manufactured and controlled by large, transnational corporations. These corporations often undersell goods made in those countries, which often drives small-scale local farmers and manufacturers out of business.
