| Annotation | "Globalisation" is taken to mean greater openness of economies, more ease of capital mobility, with to some extent a new international division of labour. Another characteristic is the pressure to develop common macro-economic monetary and fiscal policies, and growing pressure to develop similar social and labour policies. Related to this is "social dumping", a concept which implies that standards in one country are lowered relative to what they would have been, as the result of external pressures from all or part of the global economic system. The "social dumping" hypothesis is tested against welfare policies in Greece and Spain. Three articles examine Eastern European, East and South East Asian, and Latin American welfare states. (RH). |
