The proximity of the caribbean island and central america to the US justified american intervention there?
Its the same argument Newt Gingich uses when he talks about US invading Cuba and the US holding on to Guantanmo Bay, Cubs so we can torture war prisoners, but be ok since they are not in the US so the rights of the Constituiton do not apply to them. Just a way to justify GREED; just like we wont let Pureto Rico become a US state and yet will not give them their freedom!!!!
Effects of globalization on the Caribbean families?
Economically, socially and ecologically positive: As an engine of commerce; one which brings an increased standard of living — prosperity to developing countries and further wealth to First World and Third World countries. Economically, socially, and ecologically negative: As an engine of "corporate imperialism"; one which tramples over the human rights of developing societies, claims to bring prosperity, yet often simply amounts to plundering and profiteering. Negative effects include cultural assimilation via cultural imperialism, the export of artificial wants, and the destruction or inhibition of authentic local and global community, ecology and cultures. Personally I think any simple minded term that one needs to look up in wikipedia to understand is bogus. This smacks of republicans.
What are the benefits of globalization for the Caribbean?
Economically? We don't know yet.The debate of whether it is Globalization or is it regionalization is a much bigger topic.Our biggest service and source of income is tourism. The region has always had a laid back approach as far as entry and visa requirements, so nothing new there. The positive impact of that today should be a higher trend in number of tourists per year for the entire region.My guts and personal observation tell me that changes in global movement (due to Globalization) have opened many new doors to a wave of otherwise 'unconventional' destinations.If you have Instagram you'll see many African-Americans being huge contributors to that industry. (Especially in Eastern Africa as one example).Traveling (or wanting to travel) is a millennials thing in general, perhaps.Are Caribbean Islands getting a share of those travellers?Yes and No.NoWe have competition now. China has been producing a lot of the new travelers globally. Make sense. Given their economic boom and population size.Where do they want to go?Follow the Chineses (please don't take it the wrong way)YesBecause a lot of US corporations feed the tourism market in the Caribbean, and it is peaceful and safe region, with a brand name (making it a safe investment).. We won't be going out of business anytime soon… but again: are we getting a higher share? I have not found anything to support a huge increase.
What arethe factors that may have led to the globalization of the beer market. Help please!?
I try not to do people's homework for them, but I'll try to point you towards some things you might not have considered... - Do large multinational corporations exert any influence over the laws governing their products? - What are the similarities between beer advertising and that of soft drinks or gasoline (petrol)?
How does the government of developing nations (e.g., Caribbean, South American and African states) regulate against the effects of globalization (e.g., multinational corporations expanding into domestic markets)?
These nations can not do anything. They are like the leaf of a tree that is exposed to the wind. What they can do is pre-prepare themselves in advance and make the threats become ventures. Throughout my long professional career, as a Strategic Forecaster, I have prepared many strategies for early adaptation to the changes that were successful in those countries. The reactive strategy that is usually applied (waiting for problems to arise and then reacting like firefighters) is the worst policy that could be applied since these countries would always arrive late and badly and the changes would be traumatic and painful.

Even as the economy becomes more stable in Latin America, it usually has a history of instability. So, how there are steady social advances in this region in the last decade?
I will give you a very personal answer according to my own observations, then you must proceed with a more thoughtful analysis.First of all, Latin America is not a monolithic reality as most outsider observers would think. Latin America is not even a continent, but it expands in three continents: South America, North America and the Caribbean Archipelago. Therefore, when you mention the term Latin America, you refer to a very general concept full of a great diversity of peoples, cultures, traditions at the same level of the concept Asia, Africa or Europe.The general assumption to an outside observer is that Latin America is poor, unstable, violent, etc. As the global campaign that says Africa is not a country, it is possible to say the same about the generic and abstract concept of Latin America.Doubtless, each Latin American and Caribbean country is a history of conflicts, poverty and situations, but when you direct a question about a so generic concept, the obvious back question would be Which Latin America?Now well, the social advances you are observing, can be traced to a group of countries like Chile, Peru, Ecuador, Brasil, Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica and Mexico by sure.Therefore, we have two problems: a) How has been those social advances in those countries and b) What happens with the other countries.In the first observation we can notice that those probably successful and growing countries belong to the group of the biggest, most populated and most rich in resources countries.The other countries are small and more fragile in their political systems. When you get news from Latin America, those news will be always from those big countries, but you get almost nothing from territories such as El Salvador, Nicaragua, Dominican Republic or Paraguay.Back to your question, the evident social advances cannot be explained alone inside the Latin American context, but it is also a consequence of globalization and the change of policies of the world powers, mainly United States of America and the European continent.Political intervention, although still on place in a certain level, it is not more a first priority, giving way to a more commercial approach through multinationals and concessions. Most Latin American countries are trying to end years of conflicts and violence to open their economies. Still a long way and many risks like the destruction of the natural environment.
