X. Globalization's Regionalism

(Please keep in mind that a whacko theory is just that: a fantastic theory pertaining to world events, with nothing to back it up, not even one's conceptions through imagination!)                                

The mounting concern over the burgeoning population of youth worldwide has been met within the globalization movement as a challenge to meet the demand for job creation. 

In the Social-X series, the item "SC: Globalization" (1/20/11) details what I take to be the thrust of globalization in world governance, namely, the identification of dominant nations within some region of the globe, whose primary responsibility is to work with the countries in the area to maintain a stable environment.

Now, the dominant nations having been identified, it yet remains for each to assert its leading role in a region.  I take it, China's insistence on having an insinuating role in the affairs of certain islands in the Pacific is no different than its role in observing the everyday affairs in Hongkong: it does not meddle in what goes on there, nor will it "go away."  Also, because of its leadership position in Asia, it has extended warm friendship to S. Korea; and relations between them are very good.  At least, if there were regional dominant nations and China were one of them, it might so act.

This theory is ridiculous!

--I'm starting up a new item in the Didactics series "Follow ups."  It will relate a particular item in these blogs to some event--expected or reported.

--Working out Whacko theory #10 on the globalization topic.  I first learned of the globalization project as a member of Rotary in Glen Ellyn, Illinois in the early 1980s.  Thought I'd take a course on the subject when I was living in L.A. only to discover that the material it was to cover was something I was well familiar with already!  The project has literally "taken off" and is today heralding major changes around the globe.

--Happy holidays!  Gee whiz, Las Vegas is sure famous, I'm discovering.
