| | The Failure of the Global South in the Recent Global Trade Talks |
 | | Further globalization and free trade will have to be necessarily accompanied by the social institutionalization in both the rich and the poor countries of processes of investing in human capital with a fair share of the profits generated through the process. | | | The Global South needs to demand that any changes in global trade arrangements can only be implemented if they can pass the legislatures of their respective countries just like arms reduction treaties do not get implemented by the United States unless the Senate passes them. | | | The Global South has failed to own up to the elitism in the poor countries whereby the select few prosper at the expense of the vast majority, and define labor rights, abolition of child labor, and environmental protection as goals to be strived for out of self-interest rather than as pandering to the west |

| | Global Apartheid |
| | In apartheid South Africa, that was the rationale for differentiating everything according to race, from materials for housing to standards of education and healthcare. | | | Moreover, the global governance regime that is assigned responsibility for maintaining the current economic order--as was the case with apartheid in its heyday--allocates key decisions to institutions resistant to democratic control: a global version of "white minority rule." | | | Global apartheid is not only an appropriate description of the current world order; it can also help in efforts to transform it. |

| | They need loans, and once they have debts, interest payments and other debt servicing costs escalate rapidly and their currencies are likely to devalue further. | | | The government debts of poor countries, and increasingly of middle-income countries as well, need to be taken out of the global capital markets and placed in the domain of the interstate system. | | | The pressures to be competitive make governments in poor countries cut their health, education and social budgets, further delaying development and stimulating emigration. |
