经济全球化的推进导致许多学者、政策制定者和活动家警告说,它会导致“逐底竞争”。在一个对贸易和资本流动越来越自由的世界里,削减公共服务的发展中国家有可能对民众产生不利影响。传统观点认为,正是这些社会中较贫穷的成员在这些福利保护压力中损失最大,但这项新研究认为,这个问题的概念更为复杂。Nita Rudra说明了发展中国家的国内机构在历史上是如何以及为什么忽视穷人的社会需求的;全球化既没有带走也没有推进根本不存在的东西。从福利制度中获益最多的是中下层和中上层阶级,因此,他们最容易受到全球化逐底竞争的影响。
The advance of economic globalization has led many academics, policy-makers, and activists to warn that it leads to a 'race to the bottom'. In a world increasingly free of restrictions on trade and capital flows, developing nations that cut public services are risking detrimental effects to the populace. Conventional wisdom suggests that it is the poorer members of these societies who stand to lose the most from these pressures on welfare protections, but this new study argues for a more complex conceptualization of the subject. Nita Rudra demonstrates how and why domestic institutions in developing nations have historically ignored the social needs of the poor; globalization neither takes away nor advances what never existed in the first place. It has been the lower- and upper-middle classes who have benefited the most from welfare systems and, consequently, it is they who are most vulnerable to globalization's race to the bottom.
