Globalisation of finance: restructuring of capital such as global financial speculation, mergers + closures). Globalisation of production: restructuring of work (changing processes and location of production), restructuring of labour markets (structural unemployment, rise in part-time and casual workers and homeworkers). Globalisation of culture: dominance of 'American lifestyles'. Globalisation of the state (government): restructuring of the state (state following rather than compensating for 'free-market logic', restrictions on trade union freedoms and political rights, shifts away from national control over resources and policies to international structures such as WTO, IMF, World Bank).
