There is a vigorous debate about the merits of globalisation for
developing countries. Based on numerous focus-group discussions and
over 10,000 interviews, this book studies economic and cultural
openness from the perspective of the public in four developing or
'transitional' countries: Vietnam, (South) Korea, the Czech
Republic and Ukraine (both before and after the Orange Revolution).
It finds many supporters of opening up, but also many who are
discontented with its downsides and who expect states to tackle the
exploitation and unfairness that accompany it. Among the most
fervent enemies of openness there is support not just for peaceful
public protest to tackle the problems it brings, but for violence
or sabotage. The methodology provides a unique opportunity for the
public in developing countries to 'speak with their own voices'
about markets and openness - and highlights the subtlety,
ambiguity, tensions, conflicts and emotion that statistics alone
fail to capture.
