Abstract

With the rise of free trade and the development of multinational firms, economic globalization implies the development of the attributions and the number of international economic organizations (IOs). The rise of multinational firms and the reduction of the role of states in their national economies have contributed to the development of structures for controlling and opening up markets, based on the still dominant controversial principle of the famous Washington Consensus, which is very favourable to the growth of social inequalities as a factor of economic development in the longer term. In this context, national and international public goods are threatened by privatization, which closes, in the short term, the availability of goods and services to the least favored nations or people. We are increasingly witnessing efforts to regionalize markets within the WTO, in a process of integration that is nevertheless difficult to carry out. The question that arises is whether this is a step or a gradual halt to an integral process of globalization.
