The riot-torn meeting of the World Trade Organization in Seattle in 1999 was only the most dramatic sign of the intensely passionate debate now raging over globalization, which critics blame for everything from child labor to environmental degradation, cultural homogenization, and a host of other ills afflicting poorer nations. Now Jagdish Bhagwati, the internationally renowned economist known equally for the clarity of his arguments and the sharpness of his pen, takes on the critics, revealing that globalization, when properly governed, is in fact the most powerful force for social good in the world today. Drawing on his unparalleled knowledge of international and development economics, Bhagwati explains why the "gotcha" examples of the critics are often not as they seem, and that in fact globalization often alleviates many of the problems for which it has been blamed. For example, the author describes how globalization helps the cause of women around the world, how poverty in the poor countries and child labor are reduced by globalization, and how the mixing of world cultures can lead to new artistic and cultural highs, rather than creating a homogeneous "McWorld". With the wit and wisdom for which he is renowned, Bhagwati convincingly shows that globalization is part of the solution, not part of the problem. Anyone who wants to understand what's at stake in the globalization wars must read In Defense of Globalization.

The formal charges, levelled in the court of public opinion amid a backdrop of incendiary outrage, burst onto the front pages at the WTO meeting in Seattle in 1999. Never had a defendant been so blindsided by the passions of overzealous prosecution. To observers the outcome of the trial seemed a foregone conclusion: the guilty verdict against globalization was all but a sure thing. The era of free trade was over.
But after the tear gas dissipated and the hysterical rantings of labor unions, environmentalists, and zealous isolationists quieted, it was time for the defense to make its presentation. And, to the great benefit of world progress, the team had some able advocates. Over the following years intellectuals like Brink Lindsay, Martin Wolf, and Tom Friedman shredded the overwraught and underthought indictment of the anti-globalists, with careful and insightful analysis of trade barriers and their insidious costs. And the distinguished Columbia professor Jagdish Bhagwati has delivered devastating de facto closing arguments in his cogent, understated masterwork "In Defense of Globalization".
To his great credit Bhagwati never allows emotion to intrude on his analysis of the impact of globalization on poverty, the environment, women's rights, labor standards, the development of democracy, and the fate of cultural traditions. The temptation must be great, since the empirical evidence he sprinkles liberally throughout the book demonstrates with little question that the reduction of trade barriers has the salutory effect of lifting incomes, the ostensible goal of all factions who see poverty reduction as a global imperative. But Bhagwati eschews inflated rhetoric for gentle guidance.
In short, he illustrates how globalization actually enhances labor standards by exporting better practices from the developed world; how wages are pushed up through the intercession of multi-nationals, in comparison with those on offer in impoverished nations' native industries; how women's education and health levels have improved as a result of initiatives in micro finance and export processing zones; how repressive political systems, not the nefarious greed of foreign corporations, often dictate the mistreatment of their citizen-laborers.
This is just a sampling of the many areas Bhagwati explores; part of what makes his argumentation so credible is his treatment of the negative effects of globalization, both temporary and chronic. Globalization will involve dislocation, job insecurity, financial imbalances; he admits as much early on, and uses his authority to recommend remdial measures, like job training subsidies and less onerous immigration laws, that make resounding sense. Though an obvious ardent proponent of globalization, he understands the fears it engenders, and renders those fears comprehensible.
In summation: there is more than reasonable doubt that globalization is guilty of being a force for evil. And that's good, because globalization is happening. The verdict here, whatever the public court decides, is non-binding. Bhagwati's immeasurable contribution to the process is a voice that may make the world's more gullible citzenry aware that the stranger knocking at their door just might be named Opportunity.

Globalization is good

A convincing thesis that globalization is good, with recommendations on how to best proceed with combating its downsides. For example the idea that globalization erodes labor standards because corporations will simply find cheap labor is a common critique of globalization. Bhagwati however shows that corporations operating abroad have been beneficial. They pay more, have higher labor standards, and the nations they operate in learn from them. The other large drawback people point to with globalization is the apparent need for global government to manage it. Bhagwati shows how instead domestic institutions and NGOs can have a bigger role that others believe need to be done by global government. Bhagwati addresses many common critiques individually in chapters. His writing is well organized, and it is very easy to follow. Well worth your time.
