Globalization Mitigated: Human Rights, Corporations, and the New World Economy
Abstract: In this thesis, I argue for a set of basic human rights to constrain the practices of corporate entities in the context of economic globalization. These basic rights are derived through a concrete interpretation of specific articles in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. My focus is on constructing a middle-ground approach to economic globalization by building on the work of Peter Singer, Onara O'Neill, John Bishop, and Leo Groarke, but with particular emphasis on Groarke's notion of a mitigated capitalism. The underlying objective of the middle ground is to secure globalization's benefits and circumvent its harms. As I am concerned with the economic dimension of globalization, and not with its social and political aspects, the set of rights I advance addresses only those variables that are relevant to corporations, since corporations are the vehicles of globalization. As such, the set of rights I derive constitutes a subset of a more general minimal ethics. I claim that this subset of a general minimal ethics adequately captures the salient concerns of the relevant stakeholders, and that it is an ideal way to mitigate globalization. I support my position with two arguments: (i) basic human rights can effectively enable us to meet basic human needs, and (ii) the basic human rights I advance in the subset of a minimal ethics are a more substantive set of rights than property rights. Dedication and Acknowledgments I dedicate this dissertation to my late maternal grandfather, Mr. Muntiaz AH of Stewartville, West Coast Demerara, Guyana legendary tinsmith and one of the unsung heroes of the period of racial oppression against people of East Indian origins in the 1960s in Guyana, in his resistance against ethnic displacement from his rightful place of abode; and to my late maternal grandmother, Mrs. Zainab Izarali (a.k.a. Buck), whose economic poverty as a child of indentured labourers deprived her of basic literacy, but who, having raised me from infancy as an orphan, never lived to reap the joys of the humble heights I have climbed. So many struggles and heartaches, so much joy yet to be found. So much dies with the passage of time, and so much too needs to be remembered. The pursuit of this Ph.D. was a struggle every step of the way, beginning with a serious automobile accident I suffered shortly before the commencement of my studies and the soft-tissue injuries that ensued from it in the years that followed. My survival came to depend on enduring and learning to endure, particularly as the effects of the injuries manifested differently from one season to another, one semester to another. In those dark and painful years I vowed to continue the pursuit of my Ph.D., all the way to the grave. The hardships were beyond words, beyond my comprehension, but would have been a lot more if it were not for the humanity of some people, and so upon this achievement my heart impels me to convey words of gratitude. I extend warm thanks to: Dr. Leo Groarke, who served as supervisor for my Ph.D. for quite some time before acceding to the post of academic vice president of the university, for his open-minded approach to scholarship, and his kindness during the exasperating period following the injuries I had suffered; Dr. Ashwani Peetush, who subsequently became my Ph.D. supervisor, for his vigorous stance as a human rights expert in championing the value and methodology of this project at various junctures, and for seeing the project through to its final oral examination; and Dr. Bob Litke, who served on my advising committee, for his continuous outreach. I am also grateful to Fazila Izarali for her patience during the laborious process of writing this dissertation, and to my friend Dr. Kadir Baksh for his continuous encouragement. I am honoured that Dr. Randolph Persaud, an inspirational scholar on Caribbean and international affairs, and Director of Regional and Comparative Studies in the School of International Service at American University in Washington, agreed to serve as External Examiner; and that Dr. David Pfrimmer, Dean of Waterloo Lutheran Seminary and an expert on global economic and social issues, agreed to serve as the University's Internal Examiner for the dissertation defence. Whatever its imperfection, may this dissertation serve as a testament to the virtues of perseverance, of being resolute in purpose, determined to stay with the fight until the battle is over, now and always, even in the most intense moments of adversities and tribulations in much the same spirit of my forebears' struggle for a life of liberty and human flourishing.
