Brave New World? Human Rights in the Era of Globalisation by Paul O'Connell :: SSRN

Brave New World? Human Rights in the Era of Globalisation by Paul O'Connell :: SSRN: "This chapter begins by setting out the “promise of globalisation”, that is to say the purported benefits for human rights from the process of globalisation, as a starting point for the broader discussion which will follow. We then take one step back, as it were, to get a clearer analytical understanding of what exactly “globalisation” is, by examining alternative approaches to defining globalisation. Then, with the benefit of greater definitional clarity, the remainder of the chapter is devoted to a consideration of the actual impact which globalisation has had on human rights to date; before then drawing some conclusions as to the potential long-term implications of globalisation for human rights, and the obstacles and opportunities which globalisation presents for the realisation of human rights."?

The Irish banks were making far riskier loans in Ireland than they were in Britain, but even in Britain, the report revealed, they were the nuttiest lenders around: in that category, Anglo Irish, Bank of Ireland, and A.I.B. came, in that order, first, second, and third."/

The Merrill Lynch memo listed a number of possible responses the Irish government might have to any run on Irish banks. It refrained from explicitly recommending one course of action over another, but its analysis of the problem implied that the most sensible thing to do was guarantee the banks. After all, the banks were fundamentally sound. Promise to eat all losses, and markets would quickly settle down—and the Irish banks would go back to being in perfectly good shape. As there would be no losses, the promise would be free.”"?
