"(Cox, 1997: 49-75) From the perspective of disciplinary power, critics of neo-liberal notions of power have argued that the institutionalisation of discourse, which produces and promotes truth-claims, obscures and conceals the processes of domination that lie beneath normal social practice1 Gill refers to the most prominent of the disciplines within the current global order as ‘market discipline’, which stresses economic growth and development, deregulation, the free market, the privatisation of public services and minimum government2 Market discipline describes a set of normative relationships with a global reach, supported by discourses of truth, and widely accepted as ‘common sense’.
From this perspective, the freedoms described and ‘normalized’ by market discipline accentuate processes of inclusion and exclusion, equality and inequality, to the detriment of human rights2 Pessimists feel vindicated, for instance, when a leading member of a prominent investment corporation, commenting on the possibility of human rights within the current global order, remarks that the ‘great beauty of globalization is that no one is in control3 While the international regime includes a wide spectrum of rights, the values associated with market discipline remain the dominant mode of thought that guides political, social and economic action.
Of course, the rights referred to here assume a particular conception of rights, defined as the freedom of the individual to invest time, capital and resources in processes of production and exchange1 Political struggles over identity may be legitimated by the human rights regime, but market discipline demands toleration of all acts that further the neo-liberal project towards greater levels of economic globalization."
