Essay
Influence of globalization on social policy and health care in Costa Rica
Introduction
Globalization is a process characterized by the interaction of all aspects of human’s activity and expression that traditionally identify individuals and societies. This leads to a world without borders thereby compressing time and reducing the space through which individuals and societies become aware that they are interrelated and interdependent (Labonte and Torgerson, 2005; Betcher and Lee, XXXXXXXXXXAs this process inevitably impacts - positively or negatively - on the social determinants of health, economic control, labor market and elements of social transformation in a given country; the aim of the present post is to reflect on the effect of globalization in Costa Rica’s healthcare and social policy based on published data.
Globalization and Health
Since the establishment in 1995 of The World Trade Organization (WTO), the global trading system and its framework have changed substantially as trade negotiations were able to impose an agenda that affects governability by State members on traditionally domestic affairs such as immigration control, environmental protection, intellectual property and public health (Lee, Sridhar and Patel, XXXXXXXXXXBecause the current globalization process is governed under the influence of neoliberal policies, the priority is homogenization of economic policy, the weakening of the government in control of the market, the protection of owners and employers over the social agenda (Birn, Pillay and Holtz, XXXXXXXXXXLabonte and Schrecker XXXXXXXXXXhave identified pathways through which globalization generate health inequalities:
  1. Impact of free trade on domestic production means: This refers to the loss of a productive sector due to the inability to compete with the prices of the treaty on products produced under subsidized conditions or by better technology.
  2. Reorganization of labor markets: Concerns to the process of export of jobs and industries to areas where regulations are more lax about occupational health, labor rights and environmental accountability.
  3. Imposition of economic structural policiesThis point is in relation to the weakening of the government to handle an economy in terms of differential exchange, speculative capital and influence of international markets on family’s economy so the ability to invest in public health, education and public services.
  4. Environmental riskin regards greenhouse emissions and toxic waste.

Another area in which globalization has influenced the health sector is through the impact on the way in which it operates: health professional migration, change in population’s lifestyle, exposition to food industry, global health policies (i.e.: tobacco control) evidence based medicine, cost-effective and cost-benefit analysis of interventions, intellectual property rights on medical technology and on medications, change on the quality, types and outcome on services are among the aspects of globalization influence (Lee, 2000; Shahmanesh, 2007).
Globalization and Costa Rica
The impact of globalization may vary between countries and between developing and developed ones (Birn, Pillay and Holtz, XXXXXXXXXXThe reasons for this variation can be diverse but it is speculated that countries where regulatory institutions are strong, markets are non-exclusionary, availability of healthcare and social services, redistribution of wealth is suitable and safety policies are well established, can enforce the neo-liberal assumption that the increase in trade leverage improvements in living conditions and health (Dollar, 2001; Cornia, 2001).
Costa Rica has been identified as a country where these conditions exist so that globalization has allowed a rapid growth, improved living conditions and health conditions (Cornia, XXXXXXXXXXAs it was in Latin America (LA) where it was first applied neoliberal policies of structural adjustment and state reduction; it is interesting Costa Rica’s performance. Franco-Giraldo, Palma and Alvarez-Daret XXXXXXXXXXexplain that as a group, LA was the region with lower public spending in the world (20% GDP) and reported a deceleration on infant mortality and life expectancy. Costa Rica is a country with a small State but has shown better health indicators compare to other countries in LA. Ecuador, Nicaragua and Barbados have proportionally larger State and higher public expenditure proportional to GDP, but have lower health indicators than those shown by Costa Rica reinforcing the concept that it is the state structure, the services provided and the distribution of wealth and not the necessarily the size or expense what matters. Casas-Zamora XXXXXXXXXXreports in his research, that there is a relationship between increased income and the reduction in infant mortality but when this association is controlled by education and health policy, the association weakens.
Conclusion
It has been demonstrated that globalization lose local government control on its economy and globalization impact. A strong legal structure, developed public institutions and social democratic welfare seems to counteract the effects of neoliberal policies as shown by Costa Rica performance during this process.

Globalization was aimed toward growth and development around the world by working
together as a team; this was done by removing different trade and other ba
iers from the
market and deregulating the market (Bettcher & Lee, 2002). With globalization it was
assumed that this change will help in fighting with global health problems jointly by
implementing resources from different regions. However, the scenario is not exactly up to the
expectation as countries working together are not equal in their conditions; for instance there
are both developed and economically poor countries in it; this is causing several economical,
political and legal management problems, as discussed in the given essay also (Baldock, et
al., 2012).
It is also important to analyze that globalization has caused increasing inequality in income
distribution between nations; which might suppress the growth sustainability in the market;
income has direct impact on the health status of individual (Huynen, et al., 2005). Beside this
globalization has also caused increasing...
