03 Readings 2: "Globalization and the Asia Pacific and South Asia"

Ideas Summary/Explanation
Asia Pacific and South In today's global politics, two systems seem to be at
Asia and the World odds with one another. The first is the rapid
acceleration of globalization, which is characterized as

power as a global force. Any of these systems includes
elements of variety, contingency, and complexity.
However, considering these general developments, this
