t negative consequences does the latest wave of globalization have, and how does Shiva denounce these. According to Shiva, in her article, Ecological Balance in an Era of Globalization, the globalization process is redefining what the modern-day society accepts as normal when it comes to trade between nations and what the objectives of the trade should be. Consequently, governments are unable to regulate their trade to meet the needs of their people and benefit them. Instead, the political organizations of the global community have become beholden to the interests of corporate. For this reason, trade has been modified to benefit the large multinational corporations instead of enhancing the well-being of the citizens (Lechner & Boli, 2015). Consequently, she argues that there three major negative effects of globalization that include environmental apartheid where the developed nations ship polluted production to less developed states to protect their environments. The other negative is environmental dumping whereby the rich nations transport toxic wastes to poor counties with the belief they will accept payment in return for the wastes. Also, globalization has led to the rise of corporations, which control the things that were used to be controlled by political mechanisms, such as food production, healthcare, and education
