ABSTRACT
This chapter uses a case study on the Bangladesh garment factory tragedy to investigate the problems of globalization in the absence of good governance. Globalization led to massive immigration from the global south to the developed world of the north. There are different factors responsible for globalization: development of information and communication technology (ICT), the movement of capital, multinational corporations, and civil society. It explores the relationship between globalization and the indicators of good governance. This implies that countries with higher scores on voice and accountability, political stability, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption also have a higher level of globalization and vice versa. Based on, three statistically significant variables affecting globalization are government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and control of corruption. The chapter focuses on the democratic rights relating to the garment industry, and analyzes the issue of accountability from the point of corruption.
