Globalization and economic sovereignty

Abstract

In order to speak of globalization as it is experienced at the beginning of the 21st century, the approach must start by discussing once again the enormous, transcendent, historical and, in this sense, necessarily temporal, significance and understanding of this doctrine that has come to be known as neoliberalism.

We will see how in some industrialized countries, where this "neoliberal revolution" emerged in the late 1970s and early 1980s, the ravages achieved by the application of the dogmas of this body of philosophical and social doctrine are no less transcendent and no less ostensible, in comparison with developing nations, and contrary to what might be thought if the analyst is located in one of these dependent and poor countries on the periphery of the international economic system.
