Abstract

This paper addresses the role of policy in the relationship between globalization and development by considering four examples: trade-related capacity building, standards for multinational enterprises, medical brain drain, and access to medicines. The paper demonstrates that, despite concerns about policy space, there is some room for improving the way that globalisation processes contribute to development and poverty alleviation. None of the policies considered constitutes a fix-all but rather can make some marginal changes that could be significant in the long run.
