    Globalization & Liberalization of the World Economy: concepts, historical developmentand implications for the less developed countries and labour movement
    (Centre for Constitutionalism and Demilitarisation (CENCOD), 2001) Onyekpe, J.G.N.
    The idea and practice of Globalization and Liberalization of the world economy are not new although they have become far more topical and significant than ever before. The processes of globalization and liberalization of the world economy are related, as globalization cannot be achieved without the liberalization of trade and other relation among the nations of the world. Globalization covers all areas of inter-star relations such as economic and commercial relations; political, military and defenc , cultural etc. Our main focus in this paper is on the economic and commercial aspects. This paper is an examination of the concept and historical development of globalization and liberalization, their aims, and their implications for the economies of the Le s Developed Countries (LDes) or the world and the Labour Movement. It is our position that globalization and liberalization are nothing but imperialist processes and as such the Labour Movement in the exploited and oppressed areas of the world (to which igeria belongs) should neither fold its arms nor clap for imperialism and its agents. The Labour Movement must wage a consistent struggle against imperialism ) euphemized as globalization, and against capitalism euphemized as liberalization of the world economy.

The study is anchored on three theories, Karl Marx's revolutionary theory, Sidney and Beatrice Webb's theory and Bakke Wight's social exchange theory. The historical research method/approach was adopted with the use of secondary data. The authors examined the British labour movement in view of the influence it has on the Nigerian labour movement, Nigeria being a former British colony. The emergence of the labour movement in Nigeria has witnessed a chequered history. As revealed in the study, despite arrests and jail sentences of union leaders, inter-union rivalries and factions, and the sometimes hostile regulatory decrees of the early military administrations, trade unions have won recognition as a vital part of the nation's socio-economic structure. The Nigerian labour movement continues to: champion the need for social protection of workers, make inputs in labour policies, fight against unfair dismissals, advocate and participate in the review of minimum wages, as well as pension reforms, resist unfair labour and economic policies of successive governments in Nigeria, protest against hikes in the prices of petroleum products and represent the voice of Nigerian workers at the national level and on the international scene such as the International
