Lisa Brando's paper
"Global Public Goods for Health: Myth or Mantra" (pdf) explores the concept, applications, and implications of global public goods and its impact on health. Whereas in its purest application, global public goods seems idealistic and antithetical to market capitalism, less comprehensive public goods can mitigate some, but not all, of the ill effects of globalization.
Anne Sebert Kuhlmann's paper
"Ecuadorian Roses: Chemicals and Conflicts" (pdf) addresses the harm that Ecuadorian workers, their families, and their communities face in producing roses for export to more developed countries.
