This paper examines the Millennium Development Declaration and its Goals (MDGs) through the lens of the present globalization process. The author maintains that countries facing the longest and bumpiest road to the MDGs are those for which globalization has done less to achieve enough internal growth to attain the objectives, or globalization has had a negative influence. He recommends making development strategies in these countries more compatible with existing globalized economic structures or committing these structures to make them provide the necessary resources called for by the MDGs.
