Globalization used to be a guarantor of economic growth. No longer, and the losers are poorer nations. They have restricted access to global markets and are largely excluded from beneficial labor migration.

Part 2:    • Globalization: Profits over people (2...  

Unfettered access to the world’s economic markets should boost prosperity and foster peaceful international coexistence - in theory. But which countries take advantage of the opportunities presented by global competition? And which countries avoid it, preferring to protect their economies at the expense of the poor? And why does free global trade preach the unrestricted movement of goods, while setting limits on labor migration? With these questions and contradictions in mind, we travel through the US, Peru, Senegal and Europe.

An agreement with China means the former steel producing center Duisburg is eyeing a renaissance. America, on the other hand, blames China and globalization for its declining steel industry. Billions of US dollars are invested in domestic industries and agriculture as part of the country’s "America First” policy stance. This has a detrimental effect on poorer nations. For example Peru, a nation left behind by globalization that’s making little progress in the fight against poverty.

When it comes to worldwide migration, there are clear winners and losers. Spain’s farming sector is starved of workers, while the EU resists immigration. In countries like Senegal, where illegal fishing and the appropriation of farmland by international concerns has left people destitute, migrants are leaving in search of a better life. One of the chief beneficiaries of globalization is China, whose migrant workers represent the confidence and strategy of their powerful homeland. "Globalization in Crisis" is a two-part documentary telling the stories of those who benefit - and those who suffer - as a result of globalization.

    We're watching corporate and government greed. That's the real problem.
  • DW should get an award for pumping out the large number of high-quality documentaries it does. And all foreign languages are translated with audio, so I can set my phone down and just listen. Fantastic work DW.
  • What I like about you DW guys is that your documentaries ask the important questions.

    You know, I've been driving rideshare quite a bit lately. I've had the opportunity to sit and chat with many of our newer generation. They are truly smart, considerate of the environment, less interested in domination, and more interested in creating a better world. Such a valuable resource we have which gives me so much hope for a better tomorrow globally.
  • @mertozelmusic

    Corporations and billionaires have profited the most from globalization.
  • @murray1943
    Share holders, and people who own the companies are the winners, and the rest of us are the losers....
  • @lim8581
    "Globalization in Crisis" illuminates the complexities of our interconnected world, highlighting both its opportunities and challenges. It's a thought-provoking journey that encourages reflection on the global dynamics shaping our lives. Thank you for shedding light on these important issues.

  • @serendipity1999
    Thanks DW. I just started watching your documentaries from Azerbaijan. Very informative and well done!
  • Global Trade is fine when all parties operate in good faith. How can countries with no economic or political power negotiate trade deals beneficial to their people when they are over a barrel? Beyond that, how many developing nations who are known to have corrupt political systems, can ultimately see any benefit trickle down to its citizens when most deals are made out of sight of the population? Globalization is beneficial to the few, but not the many. It is a necessary process, but it's not being used in an ethical manner at this point. Thanks for the cool documentary.
  • @enriqueali
    What are the most important metrics, especially for the developing world, where almost 70% of the world's population live? 1.Increased life expectancy 2. Increased access to safe and drinkable water supplies 3. Increased access to basic food supplies 4. Increased access to basic health services 5. More opportunities and equality for women 5. Less regional and international areas of conflict, and less severity/ intensity in areas where conflict still exists.
  • @thedude7319
    Subsidies and global markets really fuck everything up, you could say "everybody has to play with the same rules" but that means the lowest economies can't compete because the initial cost is soo much higher benefitting the bigger players. No rules benefit the lowest players because of the invers reasoning. It is almost like you can't plan it, but with the ongoing years the private equity firms and ceo become richer and richer
  • @huascar66
    Excellent and informative. Thank you.

    What we learn from history that we never learn from history.

    What US China trade dispute? It was simply US unilateral trade restrictions
