Dissertation note: Thesis (Ph.D.) - Canada University - Faculty of Toronto - Department of Sociology Summary: Many studies have focused on the negative impact of globalization on the conditions of people in third world countries by highlighting labor cost reduction mechanisms.

More specifically, since the 1970s, the availability and affordability of essential drugs in Egypt has been reduced as a result of the increasing interaction between the pharmaceutical transnational corporations (TNCs) on the one hand and local producers on the other. Rather than increasing accessibility to drugs, the fierce unfair competition between the TNCs and national producers over the market share actually results in the market being filled with large amounts of non essential drugs. Furthermore, the production of essential drugs suffers
