However, since the WTO is commonly regarded as the main temple of globalization, the occasion was seized upon by a wide and colorful range of Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs, as an opportunity to show their discontent and mistrust for the party's host. Uneasiness and distrust for this global process of enlarging markets can be witnessed all over the planet. Globalization is frequently perceived as serving exclusively to open national markets to foreign competition. However, beneficial political consequences flow from its dynamic. For instance, globalization requires the enforcement of individual rights and liberties.
Globalization also promotes the spontaneous gathering of people with common interests.
Globalization is also seen as a threat to employment. Consider a hypothetical example. Clearly, markets and citizens differ in their assessments of the governmental announcements. But more important, they do not express themselves in the same way, nor with the same tools. Notwithstanding the obvious ethical consequences that this pattern of political conduct might have on democratic credibility, it is important to notice that this contradiction is rooted in the differences in the decision- making processes from which the two policies stem.
