Introduction to the series
Reactions and Responses to Globalization Students of multinational corporations and consultants identified the first signs of globalization back in the 1980s. As national markets became ever more integrated, some experts even went so far as to predict the advent of global firms and the eclipse of the State. Policymakers, for their part, feared that neoprotectionist trends gathering steam since the 1970s would undermine the internationalization process. These fears were nourished by the difficulties encountered during the Uruguay Round such as trade disputes between the United States, then faced with industrial decline, and Japan, which was experiencing a remarkable economic ascent. Yet the backlash against globalization did not come from governments. At the end of the 1990s, after the World Trade Organization had been set up and many governments of developed and emerging economies had embraced more liberal policies, opposition to globalization developed from a number of groups within society. This backlash stemmed from governments’ very acceptance of globalization and from the social tensions caused by growing integration of national economies.
