Globalisation, the ingredient for economic success?

[zakalwe]

Of particular interest is the multi-media presentation (only a dialogue box with graphics, no exe's etc).

basically it asserts that globalised economies are characterised by the following traits:

High level of anti-corruption policies
High capital market openess
High regulatory quality
Favorable corporate and individual taxes
High innovation policies
High political stability
High rule of law
High labour market flexability
Low agerage inflation

sounds like a win-win scenario.

(by the way, all assertions are referenced to reputable sources).

it makes for interesting reading and should be given the same weight in economic discourse as the wishful thinkings, what-iferies and isolated anecdotes that are applied to the population that anti-globalisation advocates love to bandy about like gospel.

It all depends on your level of development. You'll find the policies of now developed nations (Ireland included) were not so open or 'globalised' in the past.

Also, check out the recent 'success' of developing nations who followed a different neo-liberal shock path...

Btw, the term anti-globalistation used on it's own is a bit of a misnomer which is used to give a luddite impression of those that use it. A more apt one would be alter-globalisation or Global Justice Movement.
A lot are not opposed to the inevitabilities of globalisation more so trying to counter corporate-led globalization for a more democratic, fair trade, or a ‘fair’ global economic system.
