Investigate the claim that globalization is Western expansionism
and cultural imperialism, and that it will merely increase the opportunities for wealthier nations (and their multinational corporations) to take advantage of poorer ones. Examine whether the most prominent pro-globalization entities today the World
Trade Organization (WTO with its 144 member countries) and the World Economic
Forum, a Swiss non-profit foundation and a powerful networking forum for 1,000 of the world’s top corporations and businesses (with more than US$5 billion in turnover), governments, and not-profit leaders promote the economic well-being of the poor.
