Globalization is the defining theme of the world’s political economy. The end of the Cold War allowed for a new paradigm to take hold and, under American tutelage, globalization became the globe’s leitmotif. It is reflected primarily in the freedom to trade goods around the world.

There was only the most limited liberalization of labor flows.
