World Regionalism
“Regionalism presented some obstacles in the past, but the boundaries are beginning to disappear and we have this wonderful, intellectual synergism”.
- William Jenkins
Regionalism! is very broad term. Region is defined as a geographical unit which is delimited form each other it is also a social system that reflects the relation between different human beings and groups. Regions are an organised cooperation in cultural, economic, political or military fields. Region acts as a subject with distinct identity, language, culture and tradition.
Regionalism is an ideology and political movement that seeks to advance the causes of regions. As a process it plays an important role on international level. Both types of regionalism have different meaning and have positive as well as negative impact on society, polity, diplomacy, economy, security, culture, development, negotiations, etc.
At the international level, regionalism refers to transnational cooperation to meet a common goal or to resolve a shared problem or it refers to a group of countries such As- America, Australian, Western Europe, or Southeast Asia, linked by geography, history, cultural and economic features.
Regionalism in international arena-
Regionalism in international sense “The use of common cultural identities to define regions grew out of the process of decolonization, which was observed to lead to the construction of culture blocs”.
There are two types of international regionalism. First,
As a result, the reader is able to see the social, economic and political development of the region called

Human geography has a wide variety of different factors, one of those many is political geography. Political geography is mainly focused and influenced by political affairs and human territoriality. With this there are different factors that were created within political geography such as, nation, nation-state, multinational state and united-nations. There are factors of our globe which are shaped by imperialism and colonialism. All these make up our world all in different places.
Finally, geography shapes us by requiring us to research place locations and their cultural and geographical characteristics in order to function more productively in our increasingly autonomous environment. Geography has a significant impact on people's lives all over the world. It is one of the factors that contributes to cultural diversity, mobility, social interaction, and even aids in our understanding of physical systems that have an impact on daily
Geography impacts society, cultures, the economy, politics, and the environment around the world. To dig deeper and know why geography affects a variety of things the definition of this world should be known. Geography is the study of where things are found on Earth’s surface and the reasons for their locations. It is studied everywhere from countries in Asia to cities in The United States, such as Houston, Texas. Houston, Texas is a city of more than 2.3 million people.
In the Era of Good Feelings, sectionalism was a very important thing; it improved the feeling of nationalism, helped the economy, and strengthened relationships between the states. But good things always have a consequence, and the result of sectionalism forced the people to rely on each other for their
Thomas, Deborah and MKC. 2013. Globalization and Race, in Annual Reviews I- Introduction Main point: In the past two decades, anthropologists have put much of their focus on globalization.
Thomas McCormick’s essay titled The World-System, Hegemony, and Decline, presents some relevant questions that I am unable to answer by just reading his work. Firstly, alluding to economic freedom and freedom of the seas as main U.S. objectives with regards to foreign policy might not be entirely accurate. It is true that the United States have used and will continue to use its elements of national power to protect economic interests all around the world, but are these the only instances where the United States fight for other freedoms? Is Uncle Sam our capitalistic egomaniac above anything else? Additionally, McCormick seems to be disappointed when he writes about how labor compensation differs between core, semi periphery, and periphery countries (Merrill and Paterson, 2010, 4).
One cannot prevent them for the reason that they just happen. 2. Term: Regionalism refers to work of Literature takes place in a specific area of the country. This is shown by the author’s use of dialect, explanation of landscape, beliefs and customs of the characters.
In Prisoners of Geography, Tim Marshall argues that geography constrains and shapes all nations and their leaders. Their actions are limited by mountains, rivers, seas, and concrete. He argues that to really understand world events, one must also consider geography. Physical characteristics affect the strengths and vulnerabilities of regions. In his book, Tim Marshall examines Russia, China, the Middle East, Latin America, the United States, Africa, Western Europe, Japan and Korea, and Greenland and the Arctic.
In this sense glocalization lends itself to the idea of heterogenization, the adoption of elements of global culture to local cultures. The spreading of the local shows as well as the original show allows for cultures and countries to see how they differ and are similar to
Globalization and Nation States Globalization has integrated and intertwined the economies of the world. In the world today, every nation has become independent on every other nation, be it through trade or through finance. Developing countries today are attracting large rounds of foreign investment, and this foreign investment is coming from the developed countries. Thus, the money of the developed countries is today invested in the developing countries.
c. Regional Diversity: This element of diversity is closely related to the ethnicity and religious, but there are significant differences. There are six major geo-political regions, comprising of ‘related’ ethno-linguistic groups. The national politics tend to revolve around issues of representation from these six regions. A company such as our shoe company may not have to branches in each region, but in dealing with the public, it would help the image of the company if it is not seen to be dominated by any one of the
Globalization and Cosmopolitanism for a long time have been used interchangeably to create a sense of boundarylessness. The two words, however, are not synonymous. Globalization has a single dimension, economic globalization. Cosmopolitanism, on the other hand, is multidimensional and addresses various aspects of the social world. The multifaceted nature of cosmopolitanism has changed the history of the social worlds (Nussbaum 2008).
The aim of this assessment is to reflect on what I have learned this semester regarding the module of Business in Global Context; from the lectures with the professor, the case studies done in class and the three previous patchworks that we worked on. We have learned that there are different internal and external components that affect the business environment, from corporate social responsibility to cultural and institutional framework; organizations must take into consideration all the factors related to the different parts of its environment. For the topic discussion, I will be discussing globalization and how it has affected the global business environment along with the key aspects and the different point of views regarding it.
