The Great War has shaped many 20th century practices and norms. The economic and social pre-eminence of the State was born of it, as was the rise of new values such as universal human rights, the establishment of collective security which previously depended on bilateral alliances, and the institution of universal legal norms. From the Great War we have inherited both a reaffirmed nation-state as well as the potential to go beyond it in regional and international organization. Adapted from the source document.

The countries of the South Pacific have struggled to generate sustainable economic growth since their independence. Interventionist policies have failed in the past here, as they have in all other regions. Business and government leaders in this region are now beginning to acknowledge - as has happened in many other developing country regions over the past two decades - that major reforms are needed to put their economies onto a higher growth path. This study examines the growth record of key Pacific island economies and indentifies the reasons for their relatively poor performance. It then looks at the process of globalization that is affecting those and indeed all economies increasingly; and the role the WTO has played in that process.

It is argued that an apparent shift in the world's economic center from the North Atlantic to the North Pacific has had an impact on how governance & industrial citizenship are perceived. The importance of the ideas of "capitalism" & "class" to the study of governance is examined, as is the significance of the shapes taken by capitalism & class in postwar Japan & Pacific Asia & of their impact on the future of industrial citizenship. Focusing on how globalization & localization present challenges to society, suggestions are made for developing a nonrepresentationalist sociology of the Pacific Rim. It is contended that today's global context can be characterized as a symbiotic relationship between transnational capital & the cultural attributes of Eastern patriarchalisms. 128 References. D.

The notion of a single political organization encompassing the whole of humanity-a world state-has intrigued mankind since earliest recorded history. This book seeks to provide a concise yet comprehensive overview of the history of world government, and evaluate whether political globalization, in the form of a federal world government, can complement the ongoing processes of economic and cultural globalization?While the potential peacekeeping advantage of such a state is obvious, the consensus judgment has always been against it, suggesting it could lead to totalitarian tyranny.

Many people believe that globalization and its key components have made matters worse for humanity and the environment. Indur M. Goklany exposes this as a complete myth and challenges people to consider how much worse the world would be without them. Goklany confronts foes of globalization and demonstrates that economic growth, technological change and free trade helped to power a "cycle of progress" that in the last two centuries enabled unprecedented improvements in every objective measurement of human well-being. His analysis is accompanied by an extensive range of charts, historical data

Abstract
In the article, the authors analyse how Covid 19 have influenced and modified the dynamics generated by the globalization processes in the last decades, in comparison with other recent global crises. Globalization is here treated as a complex phenomenon, that led to major changes in every aspect of modern society, on a large scale and on a small one. To this purpose, an in-depth analysis of the current socio-economic scenario in both developed and developing countries is carried out, with a focus on the data regarding the sectors that were most influenced by the pandemic outbreak.

In this paper we have researched global marketing environment and trends in tourism sector. Development of tourist markets is closely linked to future improvement of globalization process. Therefore, explanation of one phenomenon is followed by the explanation of the other. National economies are more and more dependent on global economy and this is major characteristic of the globalization. Countries of the world are linked with each other in wide network of economic, social and political connections. In these conditions, international tourism has a special importance because of multiplicative effects of foreign tourists' spending.

Due to their nodal position in economic and social development, metropolitan areas give impetus to globalization. In turn, they are themselves transformed by this process. However, the question of how metropolitan areas transform by participating in the process of globalization is subject to debate. Based on case studies of two Swiss metropolitan areas (Berne and Zurich) and two policy domains (public transport and urban foreign policy), we argue that the rescaling process in metropolitan areas depends on the global competitiveness pressure the cities face and on the meaning that political actors give to these global pressures.

Global trade environment has changed in three major ways in recent decades. International trade has grown rapidly in value and volume, the composition of trade has altered significantly, and trade flows have been extensively liberalised. Increasing international trade is crucial to the continuance of globalization. Globalization and integration processes are having a major impact on the international trade system. Current economic integration processes (accession of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and other States into the EU) expanded the boundaries of the European Union thus influencing tendencies of changes of nature and pattern of trade specialization.
