The document discusses several key aspects of globalization in Asia-Pacific and South Asia:
1. South Asia's trade characteristics differ from East Asia's export-led growth, with larger service sectors in South Asia spearheaded by modern service and remittance exports.
2. Service exports may be more resilient than goods exports during the global downturn, allowing countries to compensate for reduced external demand.
3. Countries can also benefit from increased trade in ideas and technology, which enhance productivity despite a decline in global growth.
4. The Asia-Pacific region varies greatly but now generates over a third of global GDP, though many still face socioeconomic problems despite growth. Global powers are focused on the

1. Describe how globalization and its dimensions and what values are most associated with its manifestation across the globe. Include what international institutions are most associated with globalization.
Globalization is one major factor that affects the world today on both sides; either positively or negatively. It has been a worldwide phenomenon ever since the 1990s to date.
Globalization can be defined as the mobility of production processes from post-industrial countries to the developing countries. On other perspectives, globalization could be define as the spread and rising power of trans-national corporations globally, or the liberalization of international finance systems, or reduction in transportation and communication costs. The concept of globalization emerged in the late 20th century when different economies of the world were spanning differently and facing different challenges. It was during this period that the South-east Asian nations were growing rapidly into big economies while their African counterparts were growing at a rather poor rate. The middle-eastern nations as well, with all the resources were also facing some challenges and did not actually grow as much as they were expected. Globalization for the first time now came into action (Steger, 2013).
Globalization was projected to help stabilize the falling economies by following the policy whereby decisions were reached to globally and applied to different nations around the world individually. Matter of fact, this was one of the most reliable options to ensure that all the nations around the globe were able to grow economically and possibly control the famine epidemics, wars and other issues hindering them.
One of the implemented values was that of international social work, educational developments and labor mobility. Social work is still effective even in the current world. Labor mobility is one of the most effective aftermath of social work.
Another value that was implemented was the development of local practice in the cross-border and international arenas. This majorly affected the ethnic and racial identities of certain nations, thanks to migration, one of the major implications of globalization.
This move was aimed at helping the economies of the world, especially the poorer ones to achieve the required levels, thus eradicating poverty. In fact, poverty had become a major concern, and each time an epidemic would strike, for example a poorly thriving African nation, it would be a burden to the international community to come and help them out. Apart from poverty, there were many other challenges, the c ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2. THE GLOBAL SOUTH
South Asia as a region is
peculiar. Its trade, capital
flows, and economic
management differ from
other regions in how the
region has globalized,
although it must be
mentioned that there is a lot
of diversity within the region.
3. Its trade characteristics are different
from that of East Asia. While East Asia
benefitted from an export led growth
strategy based on manufactured
goods, the size of manufacturing
sector in South Asia is relatively small.
There are some examples of success in
garment exports from Bangladesh/Sri
Lanka, and in this sense its experience
is no different from East Asia. But
most South Asian countries have
much larger service sectors. They
seem to have benefitted more from
modern service exports and traditional
service exports such as remittances.
4. India's growth has been spearheaded by exports of modern services
and less by goods exports. Remittances and traditional service
exports are very important to Bangladesh and Nepal. Are service
exports as vulnerable as goods exports to the global downturn?
There seems to be emerging evidence that service exports are more
resilient compared to goods exports. Globalization of services is still
at an early stage. So, as consumers pull back in the United States,
service trade is likely to be less impacted compared to goods trade,
as consumers and firms still want to access more and cheaper
services, and benefit from outsourcing.
5. Can the loss in external demand and reduced trade flows in goods and
services be compensated by increased trade in ideas/knowledge and
technology? Trade contributes to growth not only through trade in
goods but also trade in ideas and technology. These have huge
spillovers and externalities and enhance productivity. The global crisis
has not reduced the stock of global knowledge. South Asia has a lot to
learn from USA and Japan. There is a huge room for South Asia to
"catch up” with developed economies. This catch up can generate
growth even if developed economies do not grow, although global
growth is even better.
6. GLOBAL INEQUALITY AND THE FUTURE
All societies past and present are
characterized by social differentiation, a
process in which people are set apart for
differential treatment by virtue of their
statuses, roles, and other social characteristics.
The process of social differentiation does not
require that people evaluate certain roles and
activities as being more important than others.
Nevertheless, social differentiation sets the
stage for social inequality, which is a condition
in which people have unequal access to
wealth, power, and prestige. This description
fits most of the citizens in the global south.
8. The decolonization process produced states, now
recognized as sovereign under the system of international
law promoted by the United Nations. The likelihood of
being poor is higher for people who live in states now
considered associated with the global south regions like
Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Most of these countries
were colonized and they are inadequately represented in
global organizations and the various international banks.
9. Solutions to problems produced by
globalization are largely forwarded and
articulated on a state level. The state remains
the main mechanism for social transfers,
making the strongest vehicle for social
redistribution.
10. Even phenomena largely considered transnational are the
results of state policies. Acts of deterritorialization such as
labor migration need to be placed in the context of the state.
In the case of Filipino OFWs is a good example. The
remittances sent by the workers abroad boost the domestic
economy and the state economic growth is highly reliant on
the remittance which is worth billions of dollars annually. In
this sense, transnational global spheres are already pre-
figured by the policies of state authorities.
11. COLONIALISM: HOW THE GLOBAL SOUTH RESPONDED
How have the peoples of global south
responded to colonialism and other
linear visions of modernity? The
following are some of the variations (in
different degrees).
12. SOLIDARITY
The notion of solidarity among colonized states was present from
the beginning of anti-colonialism. Such solidarities would serve as
the foundation for contemporary conceptions of global south.
Anderson (2007) has shown that full resistance against Spanish
colonialism in Latin America and the Philippines benefitted from
the increased interaction of political dissidents amidst and early
phase of globalization in the 19th century, a globalization that
allowed for the spreading of anarchist and anti-colonial ideas.
13. SOCIALIST INTERNATIONALISM
The socialist internationalism (the union of
socialist parties, which are now called as the
social democrats) pave the way for theories
that examined the world economic system in
the light of exploitive interactions between
core and peripheral economies.
14. DECOLONIZATION
The end of Second World War was the highpoint of
decolonization. The creations of the United Nations in 1945
paved the way for granting independence of over 80 ex-
colonies countries (United Nations, 2011).
International law ceased to formally divide the world into
civilized and uncivilized nations. The enshrinement of the
principles of self-determinations, postcolonial nationalisms
could justify their causes within the range of international law.
15. THE EMERGENCE OF CONSERVATIVE ANTI-WESTERN NATIONALISM
AND REGIONALISM
Countries like Malaysia reveal how
criticisms of neo-colonialism may turn
reactionary (Berger, 2004). For Dirlik (2004)
this hints at the fact that Third Worldism is
implicated in a greater project of global
modernism.
16. THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION
In addition to differences in language and culture, the variation among states
and peoples in this region is enormous. Some of the world’s most
economically developed states are included in this region such as Japan,
South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. On the contrary it includes highly
impoverished countries such Cambodia, Laos and Nepal. It includes the
largest and most populous states on the glove such as China and India with
over million people and some of the world’s smallest such as Maldives and
Bhutan. The countries in this region also vary widely according to geography,
political system, historical experience, and broad demographic characteristics.
17. THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION
The region makes up neatly a third of the world’s land mass and
two third of Global Population. The combined economies of the
region now generates the largest share of the global GDP at 35%
compared with Europe (28%) and North America (23%).
However, despite the economic growth, there are still millions of
people affected by poverty, hunger, HIV/AIDS, Gender Inequality,
and other socio-economic problems in the region.
18. WHY GLOBAL POWERS ARE FOCUSED ON ASIA-PACIFIC AND
SOUTH ASIA
1. The Asia-Pacific and South Asia had emerged over the past
decade as a new political force in the world. This is due to the
robust economic growth in China and India and the strategic
implications this brings to regional and global players.
2. Japan still remains relevant through declining force in the
region and the world, and other countries including the
Koreas, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Pakistan all have economic
and strategic relevance in today’s global system.
