"Over the past 30 years we have witnessed unprecedented technological advances in the communication and transport sectors, a prerequisite for and a motor of the ongoing process of capitalist globalisation. It concerns the domination of the oceans (with a focus on raw materials), space and of the internet. In the digital world, this leads to a further shift of power from governments to companies. As a result of these processes, capital is now in a position to internationalise itself as never before, while avoiding the pressure of trade unions and of progressive political forces at the level of the individual nation states."
