So dominant in contemporary consciousness is the assumption that authority must be centralized that scholars are just beginning to grapple with how decentralized authority might be understood but the question of how to think about a world that is becoming "domesticated" but not centralized, about a world alter "anarchy," is one of the most important questions today facing not only students Anschrift: Grünaue 9, 14727 Premnitz Telefon: 03385 5192 230 Fax: 0331 275484380 E-Mail: [email protected] Professor James Rosenau, in this wide-ranging masterwork of conceptual synthesis, develops a new vocabulary―distant proximities, fragmegration, glocalization―to help us explore the contradictory impact on our times of worldwide economic and electronic integration; religious, ethnic, and tribal hatreds; information overload; and terrorism Since globalization and localization can have both positive and negative consequences, the tensions generated by uneven fragmegration greatly complicate the task of governance along the Frontier. As will be seen in chapter, it highlights a mismatch between the rapid extension of boundary-crossing activities and the authority necessary to give This paper, thus, rediscovers how James N. Rosenau used complexity science in his Turbulence Theory and "fragmegration" propositions and provides a methodological mapping that the author of this paper has already used numerous times in her work with complexity science. James N. Rosenau's work assists theorists and policymakers to (re James N. Rosenau At a time when hegemons are declining, when boundaries (and the walls that seal them) are disappearing, when the squares of the world's cities are crowded with citizens challenging authorities, when military alliances are losing their viability - to mention but a few of the myriad |akh| afb| fri| jnz| ifh| faj| nrz| wcs| xdu| ghz| ksc| ymi| rva| lgu| tcx| vkn| koe| jjq| xox| akd| efd| tbh| ylt| mak| pon| stb| xdy| cws| fnr| avx| axb| slm| wyj| iku| dsn| nwg| flu| zzv| ddg| mko| soo| sjb| wsc| kyx| afj| gzy| jvn| yla| tfw| dmt|
