Globalization vs. Regionalization...?

Question

Is regionalization part of globalization or are these two different processes that go different directions?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Regionalization
1) "to separate into or arrange by regions"
2) "To divide into regions, especially for administrative purposes."
(Link 1)

Globalization
1)"To make global or worldwide in scope or application." (Link2)

3) "GLOBALIZATION (Link 3)
A comprehensive world-wide process of the internationalisation of communication, trade and economic organization. In the economic sphere it can be seen in international trade agreements, vast increases in the volume of international trade and growing economic interdependency. It is also marked by the expansion of the size and power of multinational corporations and the development of the American entertainment industry's domination of international cultural communication. Generally the process is seen as driven by the growth of international capitalism and involving the transformation of the culture and social structures of non-capitalist and pre-industrial societies."

According to the info on link 4, they are part of the same process
"Globalization and regionalization as part of the same process represent the re-ordering of the capitalist form of state....it is expected that this group of interlinked cases will exhibit a particularly strong theoretical fit with Coxs`basic premise on the role of the twin but interlinked processes of globalization and regionalization in the evolution of state forms."

Answer 2

I believe in history, each revolution that overwhelmed a country began in a region of that country.

Communism was stopped in its global design essentially by the United States alone. That was until now. Now the liberal-Marxist in the US are at the threshold of tipping the balance in their favor.

With clinton opening the flood gates of immigration to the dregs of third world nations, and the increasing flood of illegals from Mexico, the numbers in America seeking the Utopian offers of the liberal-Marxists may equal a voting majority. Especially if the liberal-Marxists can prevent control over illegal voting.

So, what began as a regional Marxist movement in the early 1900's in Russia, has expanded to several areas of the world, and now stands on the brink of being instituted in the United States of America, which would quickly Globalize Marxism throughout the world.

Well you have 'regions cores' and peripheral regions to those cores. I would see it as 'coming from two different perspectives, but each has the same effect ulitmately. I know it's a very contentious topic. Neocolonialism is sort of the unwanted child of many under-developed nations resulting from these two processes. Hope it helped.

They are different, i.e. North America v. Europe or the entire Globe. After the recent shennanigans at the so-called United Nations I'm leaning more and more toward ISOLATION!!

Answer 5

There are all word-gaming. Human being are naturally selfish and self centred. It is true for countries and continent.
Institutions, countries and governement use these words to cover abuses and cheatings.
