Full textAbstract:
<p> An individual narrative relating subjective experience with communal social norms and practices is the modern way of understanding identity. Modern science also bridges the gap between a subjective experience and theoretical knowledge. In translating from the micro-social level of direct experience to the macro-social or collective experience, the particular and the subjective tend to be drowned out by conceptual totalities. Consumer capitalism however, at its extreme virtual limits, makes subjective experience central, and pushes metaphysical idealism back. The artist's knowledge, acquired through the juxtaposition of the human self at its most intimate level with the general or objective order of materials, also erodes a modern metaphysics. Language in psychoanalysis allows us to engage in self-identification and discover the subject within the spoken or written word by uncovering traces of an illicit desire that is repressed in metaphysics and rationalism. Psychoanalysis provides insight into how the decoded social space of capitalist production can be reconfigured as a meaningful space of subjective desire. Today's ubiquitous digital discourse, coupled with the universality of a machine time in the increasingly mechanized market, gives us globalization. A form of consciousness defined by the operations of the market recognizes the interwoven functions of humans and technologies/materials in a wide and complex production—including economic and social/cultural aspects. Outside of the dialectical structure of modern knowledge, social identity can only be a temporary coalescence of a subject that is staked upon a set of events of a specific and foundational significance. As a modern polarity of identity and negation is closed with globalization, social identity becomes situated with respect to a global information economy that increasingly reflects, not commodity objects and alienated subjects, but difference as such: capitalist production is nothing but the unbreakable rhythm that rearticulates a homogeneous Globality with each of its cycles. Under these conditions, otherness is an intelligible difference, rather than a repressed periphery of the ego ideal. As difference or alterity beyond the identity of subject and object, the Other is the counterpart of the void that is subjectivity itself. In the knowledge economy primarily constituted as the production of difference, subjectivity and otherness are modalities of a more thorough ecological integration with the environment.</p>

Thesis (S.M. in Technology and Policy)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Engineering Systems Division, Technology and Policy Program, 2011.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 131-134).<br>The biomanufacturing industry is changing due to increasing globalization. However, it is changing differently from other high tech industries like software/ semiconductor/ automobiles. In this study we use global biomanufacturing investment data, industry survey data as well as interviews with members of industry and academia to understand the extent of microbial biomanufacturing activity (total volume, number of facilities, type of facilities) and nature of biomanufacturing activity (complexity of products and processes across both mammalian and microbial production) in different regions of the world today. The study shows that traditional centers of expertise in US and EU still house most of the worlds biomanufacturing capacity. The facilities in US and EU perform a larger number of operations within their facilities and also more technically complex operations than facilities in Asia. US facilities support the most complex products (median unit operations =13) and processes (cell culture, purification) and maximum average products per facility(12.2). Asian facilities support simpler products (median unit operations =7), simpler processes (fermentation, fill/finish) and fewer products per facility on average (3.25). These results support the idea that managing technical complexity is one of the biggest challenges in biomanufacturing today and it can determine where a biologic can be manufactured. While economic forces push manufacturing of biologics to low cost locations, the need to develop expertise may prevent manufacturing from scattering across the world. Instead, there may be a more guided flow to locations with an expertise in certain types of products and processes.<br>by Rachna Pande.<br>S.M.in Technology and Policy

One Professor of the University of Georgia defines globalization as “processes that lead towards global interdependence and the increasing rapidity of change across vast distances”. This definition by itself does not seem to be describing a malicious process—or for that matter, even a new process. gobalization has been around for thousands of years, ever since the first human groups started systems of trade and interaction with other groups. In the past this interaction has led to many positive exchanges and definitely some negative ones as well.

This paper presents new empirical evidence on the determinants of corruption, focussing on the role of globalisation and inequality. The estimates for a panel of 102 countries over the period 1995-2005 point to three main results: (i) Detection technologies, reflected in a high level of development, human capital and political rights reduce corruption, whereas natural resource rents increase corruption; (ii) Globalisation (in terms of both trade and financial openness) has a negative effect on corruption, which is more pronounced in developing countries; (iii) Inequality increases corruption, and once the role of inequality is accounted for, the impact of globalisation on corruption is halved. In line with recent theory, this suggests that globalisation - besides reducing corruption through enhanced competition - affects corruption also by reducing inequality.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past three decades, trade with low-wage countries - in first
place China - has grown dramatically. Economic theory has long
recognized that trade liberalization, though enlarging the overall
economic pie, also produces strong redistributive effects: while it
increases aggregate productivity and benefits consumers through lower
prices and a wider range of available goods, at the same time it is also
associated with substantial adjustment costs in the labour market. As the
gains are diffuse but the costs concentrated, the lack of appropriate
compensatory mechanisms is likely to drive a backlash against the
ongoing economic transformations.
The present dissertation aims at providing further understanding on the
consequences of trade globalization for developed countries.
Specifically, our focus is on the political dimension of the phenomenon.
Indeed, ballot boxes represent a litmus test of economic changes with
profound social effects and policymakers are called upon to offer
adequate responses to the citizens’ requests.
In chapter 2, we study empirically the role of low-wage import
competition from China in shaping electoral outcomes in Italy over the
period from 1992 to 2013. Given the unequal growth of Chinese exports
across sectors, we compare the voting pattern at the national
parliamentary elections in about 8,000 municipalities differently
exposed to the trade shock according to their ex-ante industry
specialization. The model is estimated in first differences and Italian
imports from China are instrumented by Chinese exports to other highincome countries.
We find that China’s trade liberalization has favoured the spread of
populism in Italy. This result is robust to a large number of sensitivity
checks as well as to concurrent shocks that may have contributed to spur
a populist reaction in the Italian electorate - immigration, the
introduction of the Euro and fiscal austerity. Moreover, we show that
import competition from China has triggered also other forms of protest
vote, namely invalid ballot papers and abstentionism. In line with the predictions of economic theory, the channels at work turn out to be
labour market adjustments.
If trade globalization is a key determinant behind the recent wave of
protest vote across the Western World, how can policymakers meet the
challenges associated with it? This dissertation assesses the desirability
of three distinct economic policies, one intervening directly on the labour
market and the other two acting, respectively, at the trade and fiscal
level.
In chapter 3, we present a novel approach to analyse the employment
growth effects of the introduction of a national minimum wage (€8.50
per hour of work) in Germany on January 1st 2015. Thanks to our access
to household survey data and proprietary firm-level data, we compare
firms in heavily affected sectors to similar firms in de facto unaffected
sectors. Industry vulnerability is determined according to the share of
eligible workers with pre-treatment hourly wage below €8.50 -
computed separately for East and West Germany. Treated units are
linked to control units matching on past employment and forward
looking credit ratings.
We detect only very small negative employment effects in East Germany
(0.05 percent of overall employment, 22000 jobs lost), mainly
concentrated among small firms. The lack of a significant occupational
impact still holds when we use different thresholds for treatment
assignment or alternative minimum wage bite measures. To explain our
finding, we provide evidence that, in West Germany, the minimum
wage introduction has also induced positive effects on turnover and a
deterioration of credit ratings, while, among treated firms in East
Germany, turnover remains stable and credit ratings actually improve.
Thus, ex-ante fears for dramatic job losses seem not justified and
minimum wage policy may actually help to mitigate inequality in major
industrial economies.
In chapter 4, we develop a simple theoretical framework that allows us
to investigate the macroeconomic consequences of sector-specific tariffs
on imported intermediates in the presence of input-output linkages
among industries. Our model features a large open economy with multiple perfectly competitive sectors and exogenous market power.
Each industry specializes in the production of a distinct good according
to a nested Cobb-Douglas-CES technology; its output sales (net of
national imports of the same good) meet final demand by a
representative household with Cobb-Douglas preferences and
intermediate input demand by other sectors. Under wasteful
government spending, we establish that a positive sectoral input tariff
shock entails a loss in aggregate value added, by lowering output not
only of the protected industry’s immediate customers but also of its
customers’ customers and so on.
Assuming next that a given share of each industry’s total output is sold
on foreign markets, our model can also be used to evaluate the
macroeconomic implications of the introduction of border-adjustments
into sector-homogeneous corporate profit taxation. We show that a shift
to a destination-based regime induces a change in aggregate value added
that results from the net effect of border-adjustments’ two key
components, the impossibility to deduct the costs of imported inputs
from the corporate income tax base but the ability to exclude export sales
from it. For low sectoral export shares, the network propagation
triggered by the implicit import tax is more powerful than that triggered
by the implicit export subsidy, leading to a contraction of overall
economic activity.
Thus, in today’s highly vertically integrated advanced economies, the
unilateral adoption of both import tariffs on intermediates and borderadjusted corporate taxes may turn out to be counterproductive for the
imposing country even before retaliation is considered.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to discuss the argument of exhaustion of economic globalization as an American foreign policy principle. This study argues that economic globalization is intended to restore declining American hegemony started in 1970s, but it has eventually given way to the argument of &ldquo<br>return of the geopolitics&rdquo<br>. The return of the geopolitics is an imperial, expansionist drive as a new foreign policy imperative for United States. The new developments in the international arena in the post-cold war era and especially after the September 11, 2001 brought the end of the globalization as an American project. Globalization is replaced with geopolitics in the transition period from hegemony to empire in United States foreign policy. Because there are new threats for United States in the twenty-first century such as the rise of new global actors in world politics or international competition for oil resources in the strategic regions of the world. In this framework, this study focuses on the rise of new, alternative &ldquo<br>great powers&rdquo<br>(European Union, China etc...).

Lambert, Rhiannon Beth. "The globalization of pharmaceutical regulation." Thesis, University of Sussex, 2008. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.487142.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the social scientific features of globalisation in pharmaceutical regulation by investigating the nature and evolution of three key institutions of global pharmaceutical governance: The World Health Organisation (WHO); the World Trade Organisation (WTO); and the International Conference on the Harmonisation of Technical Requirements for the Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH). Informed by theories of regulatory capture, corporatism, international organisation and globalisation, the key argument is that wh,e'n the globalisation of pharmaceutical regulation is examined as an historical process, it is possible to identify particular moments in time when such regulation has been re-directed to reflect the desires and needs of different interest groups. Specifically, after the development of a clear public health focus in the globalising activities of the WHO in the 1970s, mobilisation by the research-based transnational pharmaceutical industry successfully transformed the dynamics of global medicines governance to prioritise its business interests by the 1990s. A conceptual framework which sees globalisation as a set of processes eroding boundaries between human interaction in the spatial, temporal and cognitive dimensions is adopted. This facilitates the identification and assessment of the particular forms of globalisation exhibited by each of the three key institutions in their historical and political context in order to shed light on the overall tendencies in global pharmaceuticals governance. Empirical data to support the thesis consists of documentary evidence and 58 interviews with informants from the three institutions, pharmaceutical industry associations, drug regulatory agencies, civil society organisations and medical associations. Following an introduction, Chapters two and three explain the theoretical and methodological approach taken. Chapter four analyses the WHO's conduct in globalising medicines control until the 1990s, while Chapters five and six assess the activities of the WTO and the ICH together with their interactions with the WHO during and beyond the 1990s. Drawing on a case study of pharmaceutical regulation in South Africa, Chapter seven examines the impact of these global institutions on the nation-state. Finally, chapter eight synthesises conclusions from the evidence presented.

Fatima, Kaneez. "Globalization, inflation and monetary policy." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2013. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/4713/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis is aimed at investigating the implications of globalization for the conduct of monetary policy. By globalization we mean increased interdependence of national economies as reflected in greater and freer flow of goods, services, capital, and labour across national borders. In particular, our research addresses a number of important issues in the recent monetary policy and globalization debate. First, are global factors becoming important drivers of domestic inflation? Second, are global factors playing more powerful role on inflation dynamics in the sectors of an economy that are more open to trade? Third, has globalization made the job of Central Bankers more difficult? And finally, do the Central Bankers in the United States and the United Kingdom consider international factors too along with domestic factors while determining the short term interest rates? Inflation rates have been observed to be low across industrial countries since the early 1990s. The co-movements of inflation rates across countries are strikingly high. We model the co-movements of inflation rates by a global factor, regional factors and idiosyncratic component. In particular, we estimate a Dynamic Factor Model with Stochastic Volatility and find that the contribution of the global factor has increased over time in explaining the variance of inflation in OECD countries. The regional factor also gains importance in countries with strong intra-regional economic linkages potentially due to proliferation of regional trade agreements and common currency areas. In the European countries, the role of global and regional factor together dominates the country specific factor since the late 1990s. The volatility of inflation has substantially decreased over time and our modelling framework incorporates time varying volatility of inflation. We find strong positive and significant relationship between the international common factor and economic globalization. Consistent with inflation becoming a global phenomenon, co-movements of aggregate inflation between countries are observed to be high. We examine whether this is also the case for sectoral inflation, we model the co-movements in sectoral inflation as being associated with a global factor, a sector specific factor and an idiosyncratic error term. We find that the co-movements of inflation of tradable sectors are substantially greater than the co-movements in non-tradable sectors which implies that the greater co-movements of inflation can be attributed to increased trade global integration of product markets. To test this, we attempt to find empirical relationship between the estimated common factor in sectors and openness to trade measured as import penetration. A positive relationship is found between the estimated sector specific common factors and import penetration. Given our earlier chapters identify important global dimension to aggregate and sectoral inflation, does this matter for monetary policy? The implication of globalization for monetary policy in the United States and the United Kingdom are examined by estimating monetary policy reaction function for these advanced economies over the sample period 1985-2010. We also consider time variations in these reaction function by estimating over a sub-sample of 1992-2010 for the United Kingdom and the Greenspan-Bernanke Era for the United States. We estimate the policy reaction function with domestic and global inflation and output gaps and with the component of domestic inflation and output gap that is not related to global variations. The policy reaction function augmented with foreign variables such as real effective exchange rate and foreign interest rate is also estimated. We use measures of inflation based on GDP deflator, CPI and inflation expectations. We find that the Federal Reserve responds to global inflation only in the full sample and to global as well as the country specific inflation in the second sub-sample (Greenspan-Bernanke Era). This may imply strong commitment of the Federal Reserve to the goal of ``price stability'' during Greenspan-Bernanke Era. The Bank of England responds to global inflation along with the country specific inflation. The international factors such as the real effective exchange rate changes (depreciation) and foreign interest rates have significant and positive effect on policy rates.

Cette thèse contribue à la littérature en économie internationale et économie de l’innovation. Dans le premier chapitre, en documentant des nouveaux effets de complémentarité de l’ouverture des investissements directs étrangers (IDE) et la réduction des barrières tarifaires sur les importations de biens intermédiaires sur la productivité des entreprises nationales. Ces effets résultent d’un transfert de connaissances liées aux inputs qui permet aux entreprises nationales de réduire leurs coût de transactions et/ou d’importer des biens de meilleure qualité. En utilisant des données indiennes au niveau firme couvrant l’épisode de libéralisation au début des années 1990, les résultats d’une stratégie d’identification Différence-en-Différences reposant sur les réformes exogènes montrent l’existence de ces externalités. Par ailleurs, le chapitre 2 identifie d’autres effets d’amélioration technologique en termes d’investissements technologiques. En étendant un modèle de firmes hétérogènes pour expliquer ces effets, deux types d’effets d’entraînement causés par l’exposition des firmes nationales aux multinationales en termes d’investissements technologiques sont identifiés: vertical et horizontal. Enfin, dans le dernier chapitre, en utilisant une base de données unique sur les brevets d’inventeurs pour 33 pays de l’OCDE, l’effet des progrès technologiques, en particulier, la baisse du prix de l’Internet haut débit sur la distribution géographique des activités innovantes qui se concrétisent en brevets dans les villes-technologies sont estimés. La baisse du prix ajusté en fonction de la qualité augmente la diffusion des connaissances et des données. Elle renforce également l’intensité des interactions à distance. Les résultats montrent une augmentation de la concentration des activités de brevetage dans les principales villes, ce qui suggère une dépendance à la trajectoire et des retombées de type Marshallien<br>This thesis contributes to the literature in International Economics and Innovation Economics.

Furthermore, in chapter 2, technology improvement effects in terms of technological investments are identified. By extending a heterogenous firm model to explain such effects, two types of spillovers caused by the exposure of domestic firms to multinational firms in terms of investments in technology are identified: vertical and horizontal. Finally, in the last chapter, a unique inventor patent dataset for 33 OECD countries is use to estimate the effect of technological advancements, in particular, the fall in broadband Internet price on the geographic distribution of innovative activities that materialize in patents at city-technology level. The fall in quality-adjusted price of ICT increases the dissemination of knowledge and data. It also strengthen the intensity of remote interactions. Results show an increase in the concentration of patenting activities in top cities suggesting a path-dependence and Marshallian-type spillovers

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation consists of three essays in which I study the political economy of trade agreements. Using detailed information from lobbying reports filed under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, I systematically explore the role played by both the winners and the losers of globalization. The first chapter focuses on the winners, large multinational firms lobbying in favor of the ratification of free trade agreements. The second chapter looks at these winners when they lose, studying the impact of the non-ratification of a trade agreement on their profits. The last chapter focuses on labor interests and trade unions, the losers of globlalization.The first chapter (joint with Paola Conconi and Mathieu Parenti) is focused on firms. We show that the political economy of free trade agreements (FTAs) is dominated by large firms engaged in international trade that support the ratification of these agreements. We develop a model of endogenous lobbying on FTAs by heterogeneous firms, which can explain why only large pro-FTA firms select into lobbying. The model also delivers predictions on the intensive margin of lobbying. In line with these predictions, we find that larger firms spend more supporting a given FTA, and individual firms spend more supporting FTAs that generate larger gains – i.e. larger improvements in access to foreign consumers and suppliers and smaller increases in domestic competition – and that are more likely to be opposed by politicians.The second chapter (joint with Moritz Hennicke) is an event study on the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and the subsequent shock to U.S. trade policy – the non-ratification of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). We provide empirical evidence that corporate lobbying on trade agreements matters for corporate profits. We find that stock prices of companies that lobbied in favor of the TPP underperformed following Trump’s election. On the intensive margin, we find a strong and positive relationship between the amount spent in lobbying and the cumulative losses of lobbying firms. Finally, by comparing the original TPP agreement with its newer version (CPTPP), without U.S. participation, we provide evidence that firms’ lobbying activity was related to having some specific provisions included in the agreement. In the third chapter, I focus on the role played by trade unions, studying both their lobbying expenditures and their campaign contributions to politicians. I first show that unions are the main opposing force to the ratification of FTAs, and that larger unions, operating in tradable sectors, are more likely to lobby against FTAs. I then study union’s PAC contributions to political parties. During the last three decades, more than 90% of unions’ PAC contributions were directed to Democratic candidates. This has drastically changed when the Republican party took a more protectionist stance under Trump. I find that unions that lobbied against the ratification of FTAs started contributing more to Republican congressmen, particularly those who have taken an anti-trade stance.<br>Doctorat en Sciences économiques et de gestion<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

In an attempt to contribute to the research on the representation of Brazil in foreign films, the investigation draws upon concepts such as globalization (Appadurai, 1996; Jameson, 2003), identity (Min-ha, 1997), and difference (Appadurai, 1996; Bhabha, 1996) to approach the documentaries not as fixed representations of a given reality, but as cultural texts that might or not be articulated through the notion of nation. The hypothesis is that the analyzed documentaries are sites for the configuration of margins and, for that reason, are privileged instances to observe the constitution of identities and differences. The conclusion-reached through individual and comparative analyses-is that the documentaries present very distinct articulations of socioeconomic and national margins. On one hand, Manda Bala, through an argumentative and circular structure, reinforces socioeconomic identities circumscribed by a Brazilian national margin. Besides presenting a totalizing portrayal of Brazil, Manda Bala reproduces a colonial gaze that fixes Brazilian society as cannibal, and reinforces the dominant gaze that it seeks to criticize. On the other hand, Favela Rising, through a mainly narrative structure, moves the gaze of national proportions towards the favela of Vigário Geral, in Rio de Janeiro. Less than creating a micro-portrait of Brazil, Favela Rising suggests the existence of social formations beyond national margins, whose political strength exists in its refusal of the negative difference imposed by socioeconomic margins. Another conclusion is that the documentaries present, in an opposite and complementary manner, contradictory forces at play in globalization.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis will critically examine the project on globalization as articulated by the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS) in an effort to uncover the presuppositions and motivations that underlie the project, and to situate them historically and with reference to current North American trends in education and politics. It will argue that the project, as it has been described and defined, comes out of the ethos of Protestant liberalism, particularly as this is embodied in missiology and the 19th century Social Gospel Movement, and that this liberal foundation has been influenced since the 1960's in North America by the Civil Rights Movement, the Women's Movement and the more recent concern related to minorities and North American pluralism. Although lip service is paid to evangelism, ecumenism and interreligious dialogue, the globalization agenda is expressed in terms of social ethics, predominantly justice or liberation theology.

Full textAbstract:
Globalization has clearly done a great deal for China. Beginning in 1978, economic reforms gradually increased China’s engagement with the rest of the world. China has achieved an impressive progress thanks to its economic liberalization, but this advancement has certainly come at a cost. The economic reforms in China have been political, cultural and above all global processes, the transition to a market economy in China brought to a transformation on political and social institutions influencing also the life and the culture of Chinese people. The astonished growth of China in the last three decades also brought the country to rise its global economic and political power, redesigning the world geopolitical equilibrium and assuming a power central role. The old international order emerged at the end of Second World War seems bound to change, China is becoming the major character in the new era of globalization and the huge proposal of Belt and Road Initiative is the main evidence, a declaration of China’s intent to further raise its international position and influence.
Starting from the concept of globalization and analyzing its process and changes, it will observe how the largest communist party in the world also became the world’s most dynamic and business-friendly capitalist economy, studying the value on which Chinese globalization is founded it will consider what is the current state of economic, political and social reforms in China and to what extent are these spheres inextricably intertwined in China’s course of development.
It will be analyzed what is the Belt and Road Initiative launched in 2013 by the Chinese leadership and designed to become one of the most important and discussed theme within geopolitical and international sphere. The project has been described as the most ambitious economic and diplomatic project from the foundation of People’s Republic of China. The initiative actually involves more than 65 countries, approximately three-quarters of the world’s population and 40% of global gross domestic product. The Belt and Road Initiative will be not only a way to continue the China’s economic development but especially a step toward China’s further responsibility in the global order not just as a contributor but as a player that set the rules. Understanding what is Belt and Road Initiative and what it involves, it will try to assess what will be the impact of the Initiative in the globalization process, especially focusing on the change direction. It will try to analyze what there was before and what there is now and what would mean a change in the global order and a transition to a new development and globalization path at the level of institutions, values and norms. A change process is started and it will not affect only China but the world as a whole, the current global equilibrium is changing and a new one, proposed by China is ready to be implemented. What it will imply in the political, economic and social sphere it will be possible to assess only in the future but this dissertation will try to clarify potential future’s backdrops, drawing then the consequent observations.

Full textAbstract:
Along with a multiplicity of benefits, contemporary globalization is posing severe
challenges upon individuals, states as well as the world community as a whole. In that
context, this study puts forward the cosmopolitan social democracy (CSD) approach as
an alternative perspective of global governance to minimize, even entirely eradicate the
detrimental costs of globalization and thereby enable all to benefit from its positive
outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to analyze the social reactions against neoliberalism by using the Polanyian concept of double movement. The goal is to first to understand the nature of alternative globalization movement and provide a better framework of analysis for theorizing these social reactions. The criticisms of the alternative globalization movement against the World Trade Organization will be analyzed in order to provide a specific case example for the concerns and goals of the movement regarding the global political economy. It has been found out that the alternative globalization movement, which signalled a growing concern over the implications of the efforts to form a global free market on the state-society-market relations since the 1980s, forms the second counter-movement that resists the expansion of contemporary self-regulating market.

Full textAbstract:
One of the challenges faced by most countries in Africa today is “high crime wave”, in Cameroon, one of the forms of criminality is known as “feymania” “feymen” practice “feymania” a name commonly known to all Cameroonians, which refers to criminal economic practice. These “feymen” mostly deal with the sales of non-existing goods, money laundry, and the offering of non-existing contracts and documentations. Their whole form of economic activities is characterised by “deceit”. The study seeks to provide in-depth knowledge on the phenomenon, how globalization has helped to facilitate this crime “feymania” across national and international borders. This resulted to the success of these “feymen” who now become rich and famous by their criminal economic practices. This study was carried out for a period of one month, from the 1st to the 30th of April 2011; both secondary and primary sources were used for data collection. The primary sources data were done with the help of in-depth interview with the use of interview guide. Respondents were contacted through the help of a snowball technique; and they were of three groups: the “feymen”, cybercafé owners and security officials. Findings show that globalisation has really facilitated the networks of these criminal entrepreneurs “feymen” across national and international borders. And this enabled them to get in contact with victims who paid them huge amount of money. Without having to come into physical contact with them most of the time. Results also show that half of the population of “feymen” have travelled abroad to meet their business partners as they claim to be.
