'Critic of Pure Individualism'

These aspects of neo-liberal globalization raise concerns about how new economic models of free market economics are increasingly driving the conditions under which social policy is implemented with little regard for the effect of these policies on the marginalized and the poor. Other concerns point to the failure of successive governments to break away from models of incorporation imposed by western processes of domination resulting in the exclusion of some groups over others. Some argue that a human rights approach has the potential to become a platform on which to contest the seemingly unstoppable processes of neo-liberal globalization. At the same time, individual states largely remain the enforcers of human rights giving way to decentralized decision making and ambiguities about compliance.
