Trade and Global Integration
The decades-long push for greater global integration—hastened by enormous advances in communications and transportation technology—has largely focused on protecting the rights of investors and corporations, not workers and citizens. This has, not surprisingly, led to a tilting of the playing field. The United States may be the most extreme example of a growing imbalance between rich and poor, but it is in the majority, largely because of the way globalization has played out. EPI, through its research, analysis and active partnership with international worker advocates through GPN, is seeking to change that.
