How would you react if you could make money out of growing cocoa beans, but were punished for turning it into chocolate? That's how many people in the Third World feel when they face drastic import controls for turning their raw materials into manufactured goods. Now they're also running up against the Seattle Syndrome - an alliance of liberals and protectionists who want yet more restrictions on trade to fight poor wages and exploitative working conditions. But is the Seattle Syndrome a justifiable way of fighting globalisation - or could it be a kind of colonialism in disguise?
