|a "The advance of economic globalization has led many academics, policy-makers and activists to warn that it leads to a 'race to the bottom.' In a world increasingly free of restrictions on trade and capital flows, developing nations that cut public services risk detrimental effects to the populace. Conventional wisdom suggests that it is the poorer members of these societies who stand to lose the most from these pressures on welfare protections, but this study argues for a more complex conceptualization of the subject. It demonstrates how and why domestic institutions in developing nations have historically ignored the social needs of the poor and that globalization neither takes away nor advances what never existed in the first place. It has been the lower- and upper-middle classes who have benefited the most from welfare systems and, consequently, it is they who are most vulnerable." --Descripción del editor.
