The Ominous New Rules Of Globalization

   The federal government of the US during the Cold War used its military and diplomatic powers worldwide to make foreign states secure for international investments. All the new emerging nations, recently freed from their colonial masters, had resources that were ripe for picking and corporations picked them using cheap local labor. Ironically,the threat of communism helped secure nations for investment because it provided a justification for American military and diplomatic interference to keep governments on the right capitalistic, democratic track. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, the rules of the game began changing. The political freedom that America claimed it was fighting for became a reality. Along with democratic elections came corruption, civil unrest and finally mass protests against the lack of real democracy that sometimes led to civil wars.The globalization of corporations went on as best it could still backed by American military power but now 25 years after the end of communism, international investors have made it clear that they are willing to place the capital needed for development only in states with secure political, financial and legal structures. These new rules of the new worldwide economic game are ominous. Poor and developing states that need capital are falling apart politically and are in perpetual risk of collapse. Many states need immediately a complete restructuring of their political, judicial, financial and educational systems. The only way that many states worldwide can realistically accomplish this is by petitioning the US Congress in Washington DC for admission as new American states which will make their states secure for investment by every capitalist in the world.
