Pacific-Asia globalization outcomes at present include: intensification of changes linked to the influences of capitalism; information technology and innovative technological systems; migration, transnationalism, and refugees; tourism for those with newly apparent disposable incomes; altered philosophical and religious perspectives, including the new fundamentalism; paradigm shifts within indigenous languages and cultures; lifestyles that embrace and\/or disengage from all of the globalizing factors listed above; and others. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Challenges of Globalization\u003c\/i\u003e defines globalization as \"supra-national ideas and processes that cross national borders with impunity.\" Such \"ideas and processes\" may appear to possess a will of their own, fostering closer links between cultures, societies, and economies. But, do they? How do individuals, communities, and nation-states actually respond to the forces of globalization? This book explores globalization within the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and education.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lan-Hung Nora Chiang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0761829512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780761829515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/05\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 194\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.64w x 0.56d","brand":"Lan-Hung Nora Chiang","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48587649089791,"sku":"9780761829515","price":57.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-challenges-of-globalization-lan-hung-nora-chiang-9780761829515","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
