multinational corporations (MNCs)
Multinational corporations control critical sectors of their hosts' economies, make decisions about the use of resources with little regard for host country needs, and weaken labor and environmental standards.

Neo-liberal meddlesomes’ interventionist request from the state
Instead of more globalization as the way out, Collier (director of World Bank) advocates some decidedly state interventionist help: military intervention in some failed states to restore order, allowing temporary trade protection, and setting up new international charters to promote norms and standards (through international pressure) that help reformers in the poorest countries.

Do you want some brain? No thanks im a liberal!
Hayek's most influential work, The Road to Serfdom, explored growing state influence that he felt represented a fundamental threat to individual liberty. In his view, the growing role of government to provide greater economic security was nothing more than the first step on a slippery slope to socialism or fascism. He warned against reliance on ''national planners'' who promised to create economic utopias by supplanting competition with a government-directed system of production, pricing, and redistribution. Drawing on older theories of economic liberalism, Hayek argued that the only way to have security and freedom was to limit the role of government and draw security from opportunity the market provides to free individuals.

remember the Edward Said
Similarly, constructivists have analyzed how political scientist Samuel Huntington's concept of the Clash of Civilizations
became a popular way in the 90s to explain the roots of global conflicts. The more this clash of civilizations rhetoric was used to described relations between countries, to more it became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy that constructed conflict itself. In effect, the clash exists because we believe it exists and we act on that belief. The clash discourse has become accepted as truth- a casual explanation- even in the face overwhelming social scientific studies that find no significant link between religious beliefs and terrorism and that point out the difficulty in even ascribing a common set of values to huge groups of people like the ''Islamic world'' or the ''West''

MNCs and its ''eroding mechanism''
The rapid growth of MNCs during the last 30 years has pushed these firms into the center of the debate about globalization. Indeed, practically every aspect of globalizaton has been linked to the activities of MNCs. Ross Perot, for example, claimed during his unsuccesful bid for the presidency in 1992 that the North American Free Trade Aggrement (NAFTA) would produce a ''giant sucking sound'' as American MNCs shifted jobs from the United States to their affiliates located in Mexico. Other critics of globalization claim that MNC affiliates based in developing countries are sweatshops engaged in the systematic exploitation of workers in those countries. Still others argue that the ability of MNCs to move production wherever they want is gradually eroding a broad range of government regulations designed to protect workers, consumers, and environment.
