Abstract
Former IDRC president, Maureen O’Neil, provides opening remarks at the University for Peace (Costa Rica) to introduce research that examines the complex interaction of security, peace and development within globalization. “… Opponents of globalization, especially from the left, condemn the tendency of globalization to undermine state power. Enthusiasts for globalization, especially from the right, applaud that same tendency. In a very real sense, globalization needs strong states. That is to say, it needs governments to regulate, to organize, to provide goods that markets will not provide—and to give democratic voice to people in deciding their own futures.”
