1. The three components of the American System were establishing a new protective tariff, starting a new transportation system and restoring the national bank. Henry Clay thought that each of these components would strengthen and unify the nation because he thought the American system would unite the nation’s economic resources because the south would grow food and raise animals that the north would eat and in return the south would by the manufactured goods the north made. A new transportation system would allow trade between the north and the south. Now America could finally become independent economically. And the tariff would help because during the War of 1812 British merchants brought a great deal of products to the United States and sold them at much lower prices than American made goods, so the tariff would raise the prices of the British goods so the American merchants could sell their products at a lower price.
Germany has the largest economy in Europe and the fifth largest in the world. Germany is known for its high quality machinery, vehicles, chemicals and household equipment that form the bulk of its exports. Its vast manufacturing industry has thrived as a result of the existence of a large pool of highly skilled labor force. The country boasts of the world’s most advanced networks in energy, roads, aviation, telecommunications, rail and roads. The German economy is dominated by small and medium-sized enterprises that provide employment to 70 percent of the country’s labor force. While SMEs in the rest of the world are too small to enjoy the economies of scale or even access the international market, Germa...
As Americans we live in isolation, surrounded by advertisements, electronic screens, fast food, the internet, etc. We live these lives while thousands scream out in hunger and thirst begging to nourish their families. Living lives in excess, often unknowingly supporting a system that is not sustainable, breeds capitalism, and unplugs us from the rest of the world. Having been raised in a typical suburban home my ideas of culture were going to Olive Garden or walking by Riverside in Minneapolis. However, Geography 111 has challenged what I believed, truly allowing me to grasp that I am not part of solution I am problem that spreads neocolonialism, capitalism, and western culture wherever a profit can be made. Learning about these topics and combining it with a geographical perspective I know will enable me to break from the molds and forge new paths.
According to Michael E. Porter (2000), Clusters are geographical concentrations of interconnected companies, specialized suppliers, service providers, firms in related industries, and associated institutions (e.g. universities, standard agencies, and trade associations) in a particular field that compete but also cooperate. Its geographical concentration goes from one state, a single city or nearby and neighboring countries. As expected, clusters with more sophisticated and higher levels of competitive development are found in industrialized countries. In each of these countries, it is possible to find clusters that reached world leadership in the industries to which they belong; such as, the insulin cluster of Denmark, the flowers in Netherlands, the cork of Portugal and footwear, clothing and high fashion...
Critical regionalism can be seen as an approach to architecture that tries to stand up for places, culture and identifies of a place where Modern Architecture has failed to, by using the building's geographical context and reference of vernacular architecture. Frampton (1983:76). The term critical regionalism was first used by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre and, with a somewhat different meaning, by Kenneth Frampton.
In recent years, the efforts of clusters are subject to a strong academic and political enthusiasm. The term "cluster" is fashionable and attractive concept. Indeed, in a context of intense competition between countries and regions, there is a questioning of the competitive positioning of territories that have to adapt to a carrier opportunities and uncertainties of globalization. For keen to strengthen the potential of their regions governments, clusters bring solutions sought: company mergers and resulting benefits appear as drivers of innovation and competitiveness of regional economies.
Culture gives identity to its origin and makes its origin unique. Culture means a group of people’s way of life and way of understanding the world, belief, and value; which is different from other groups’. Each country has different cultural activities and rituals. This is why every country or region has their own culture. Culture can be expressed by arts, including architecture. ‘An architecture capable of supporting our identity has to be situationally, culturally, and symbolically articulated. I am disturbed by the notion of regionalism because of its geographic and ethnological connotations and would rather speak of situational or culture-specific architecture’ (Pallasmaa 1988, p. 130). Is it necessary applying a country’s native style
Although UN faces myriad challenges when get states together to follow UN’s norms and “blueprints”, it becomes progressively geared towards its ‘utopian’ goal ,during the time that the UN struggle to coordinate the states’ action and keep the international community in peace. Neo-liberalists are also argued that the international organisations like UN represent a liberal self-understanding and a liberal vision of the role which has shaped the international order in terms of decolonisation, human rights, environmental protection and international law. Neo-liberalists highlighted the significance of the cooperation between UN and regional organizations, as these regional organisations become inseparable in the process of international diplomatic predicting, “the international community will increasingly direct itself towards combined action of the universal Organization with regional bodies.” (Cassese: 2005: 338) This Link can be found between the UN and other regional organizations such as the European Union, Association of South East Asian Nations, the African Union, the Arab League and so on. This is widely regarded by neon-liberalists as they believe IOs are able to reformulate the behaviour of States. It is also proved the failure of neorealism that who underestimate the utility and wide influence of international organizations,. Further discussion about their motivations to how IOs influence States conduct by both promoting cooperation amongst members whilst at the same time putting the leash on those with non-cooperative behaviours, like trade sanctions. Navari argue that once cooperation amongst States is institutionalised, States would be cautious to leave it, because they fear of the uncertain consequences. (Navari: 2009: 39) European Union is a good example, as once European countries take part in the formal membership they have been
Throughout the chapters assigned, Dicken focuses on the patterns and processes of global shifts, on the forms produced by the globalization of economic activities and on the forces producing those forms. He builds his arguments around three interconnected processes, which in his view are the reasons for reshaping the global economic map. Those are Transnational Corporations (“TNC”), States, and Technology.
Globalization is a set a mechanisms that are altering the world order, thus escalating worldwide social relations. There are hundreds, if not thousands of ways in which globalization can be defined since it is altering every aspect of life. Nevertheless, when examining the universal structure of the global order; the world is divided into two categories the core and periphery (Steif). Basically, the world is divided per national development. In the case of inter-group relations, core states could be considered the in-group because they are directly benefiting from globalization and global wealth, hence the world powers (Steif). In contrast, periphery states can be considered the outer-group because these states have not shared in developmental advantages (Steif). The global structure of categorization per development has allowed the inter-group to be determined through capitalist pursuit and resource nationalism. Furthermore, these policies have transformed the social and economic order of the developmental states. For instance, the American culture is known to be considered the culture of consumerism. Basically, social, economic and political policies shape each other; ultimately, influencing social identity of its citizens. Furthermore, on average the core states consist of mostly western nations that share in the same political and economic structure of development. With this said, this paper will define globalization as the process of westernization and modernization and its influence in the inter-group and outer-group conflict.
The differences in cultures between Sweden and Italy had already become apparent in 1993, when Pharmacia merged with an Italian pharmaceutical company, however the inclusion of the American company into a corporate culture which had only so recently been developed and accepted by employees of the companies involved in the original merger created further cultural confusion. “Communication problems, beyond the obvious language differences, became a real barrier to honest dialogue”. This quote, coming from one of the American representatives of Upjohn goes to prove that there was an obvious problem with the interaction between managers of the three countries involved in the deal.
Although the Cold War seems to be an ideological rivalry between the capitalism and capitalism, it accidentally catalyzes a great myriad of transnational cooperation and the reinvention of liberalism. Liberalism has evolved to be a dominant political ideology, neoliberalism, since 1970s. The notion of neoliberalism is that transnational institutions are conducive to global changes, harmony and prosperity through launching international programme. Differed from other theories solely recognizing the sovereign states as the only actor, neoliberalism also emphasizes the participation of other actors, such as the transnational corporations (TNC), which are the enterprises conduct economic activities or production of goods and services in multiple states, and non-governmental organizations (NGO). Besides, neoliberalism does not only attend to high-political issues, for instances, collective security, but also the low-politics in economic and cultural aspects. In the light of the main theme of neoliberalism, one may also conclude globalization is beneficial to all. Still, globalization would also engender some challenges, for instances, the North/ South division, to all. Therefore, this thesis destines
This paper first assesses existing Asian institutions. The existing Asian institutions are quite inefficient in terms of the lack of enforcement and implementation power due to the divergence of economic and political interests of member countries. The second section analyzes reasons why there has not been an ultimate East Asian regionalism. It is mainly because of the United States’ ambition of better controlling and to maximizing its interests in Asia and the Pacific region and the internal tensions among East Asian countries that East Asian regionalism has failed to take shape. The third section seeks a theoretical possibility for the establishment of East Asian regionalism...
From my opinion off what I have gathered, I came to an understanding that Critical regionalism can be seen as an approach to architecture that tries to stand up for places culture and identifies the identity of a place where Modern Architecture has failed to, by using the building's geographical context and reference of vernacular architecture. The term critical regionalism was first used by Alexander Tzonis and Liane Lefaivre and, with a somewhat different meaning, by Kenneth Frampton. Critical regionalism could be considered as a particular kind of post-modern response. This response developed as a result of the failure of Post-modernism, together with the influence of Globalization and the spread of Western culture. Critical Regionalism could also be seen as the best solution to cultural issues and the problems of architectural identity. Frampton’s argument is that critical regionalism should not only answer to context, but it should also value the progress of universal modern architecture.
One can talk about Regionalism when several countries come together with a sense of common and shared identity, goals and purpose (Hurell, 1996: 37-38). In order to emphasize the importance of these elements, they create institutions and organizations that demonstrate this particular identity and collective interest within a geographical and regional scheme or framework (Hurell, 1996: 40). For the la...
