Capturing globalization: prospects and projects

Article Abstract:

This article discusses the instability caused by the highly mobile capital of globalization and the effect this has on transitional countries, whose success or failure depends on their ability to assert the terms of their relations with the processes of globalization. Issues addressed include whether the processes of globalization serve any other goals beside that of globalization; how countries or societies make the best and the most of this process; the flexibility of the market and its potential ability to respond to various cultures and political supervision; and whether parts of globalization can be taken from the whole or if it is a 'package-deal.'

Globalization: captors and captive

Article Abstract:

The author asserts that most studies of globalization are undertaken by countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), rather than on a truly global level that includes developing countries. Research on the effects of globalization from Southeast Asian countries is given; this research model finds that when one country succeeds in asserting its authority over another an hierarchy establishes an ordering of power and the division of labor, with those on top trying to remain there, and those on the bottom trying to make it to the top.
