Although the products of globalization are far from new,
globalization as a process in the Pacific-Asian Region is both
dynamic and problematic. Pacific-Asia globalization outcomes at
present include: intensification of changes linked to the
influences of capitalism; information technology and innovative
technological systems; migration, transnationalism, and refugees;
tourism for those with newly apparent disposable incomes; altered
philosophical and religious perspectives, including the new
fundamentalism; paradigm shifts within indigenous languages and
cultures; lifestyles that embrace and/or disengage from all of the
globalizing factors listed above; and others. The Challenges of
Globalization defines globalization as "supra-national ideas and
processes that cross national borders with impunity." Such "ideas
and processes" may appear to possess a will of their own, fostering
closer links between cultures, societies, and economies. But, do
they? How do individuals, communities, and nation-states actually
respond to the forces of globalization? This book explores
globalization within the natural sciences, social sciences,
humanities, and education.
