Niraj made a post, “The Developing World Like Globalization”:http://www.nirajweb.net/mt/niraj/archives/001603.html few days back citing the Pew Global Attitude Survey explaining why globalization is popular among poor nations. The Economist has an article which tells the same. The lesson learned is that:
bq. “Liberty’s great advance:”:http://www.sulekha.com/redirectnh.asp?cid=312143 The countries that have succeeded in raising living standards rapidly, over long periods, have followed many varieties of economic policy and have lived under many different forms of government. What they have had in common, though, has been a policy of opening their economies to trade and to foreign capital. Countries that have opened their borders in this way have seen their incomes per head grow rapidly?much more rapidly than either the existing rich countries or those that have not globalised, either by choice or through lack of opportunity.
The article has a graph which shows that more globalized countries have a higher annual rate of GDP growth. Swaminathan S Iyer has an article in Times of India which tells how foreign capital is now transforming India into a global auto power.
bq. “Unanticipated consequences of FDI:”:http://www.sulekha.com/redirectnh.asp?cid=312131 But only after the biggest multinationals entered India did they seriously look at and help upgrade India?s tiny ancillary companies, which were (and in many cases still are) too small and unknown to meet global demand. MNCs will nurture your small and medium companies, and convert them into giant exporters. Ford, for instance, is using small and medium companies that most readers have never heard of, such as Cooper Tire, Visteon, and Synergy Dooray. A medium company called Motherson Sumi has won a huge export order of $125 million for dashboard components.
Global Auto Power is a strong word to use for a country which has only “0.1 percent”:https://varnam.org/archives/000127.html of the 1 Trillion dollar auto parts market. But there are many positive signs in terms of employment which would not have been possible otherwise. The lessons is that “attract FDI and you will create exports, often in unexpected areas”.

Glen Reynolds, aka “InstaPundit”:http://www.instapundit.com has a column up at TechCentral where he looks at the movement of labor from United States to Third World countries (which I prefer to call developing nations). He wonders why liberals are opposed to this
bq. “Outsourcing and Elections:”:http://www.techcentralstation.com/1051/techwrapper.jsp?PID=1051-250&CID=1051-062503A It’s true that corporations do this in order to maintain profits — but they usually are pressed to do that by downward pressure on prices, brought about by competition, which means that they’re not earning a windfall out of the deal, and the savings are passed on to consumers, another group that liberals are supposed to like. So it’s odd that opposition to outsourcing would attract interest from “liberal” groups, though it clearly has.
He mentions India as one of the countries where most of the Tech jobs are vanishing. Today “Oracle has big plans for India”:http://www.sulekha.com/redirectnh.asp?cid=311943. But it is not just the tech jobs that are moving to India. Soon it will be the place where “cartoons”:http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/cms.dll/html/uncomp/articleshow?msid=35363 are made, and where your next “auto part”:https://varnam.org/archives/000127.html comes from.
