Assignments
A. Do advance reading on the following topics:
1. Globalization and Regionalization in Asia
2. Confronting the Challenges of Globalization

B. The students will answer the following

questions:
1. How is regionalism different from and yet a part of globalization?
• Globalization has an impact on political and economic systems on a global scale, while
regionalization includes first taking into account local circumstances and requirements.
Regionalization shows that global interactions are structured differently in different
regions, in contrast to globalization, which argues that the globe is becoming increasingly
integrated.

2. What is the difference between state-to-state regionalism and non-estate regionalism?

• State to state regionalism, which refers to a regionalized unitary state, is a word that
describes a certain kind of state. that is officially unitary but in which a significant amount
of political authority has been distributed to regional administrations. The divides between
the areas are frequently based on long-standing cultural differences. Non-state nationalism,
or nation without a state, is another name for non-state regionalism. a nationality or ethnic
 group that doesn't have its own state (from state to state) and isn't the majority in any
nation state The phrase "non-state" suggests that the organization ought to own such a
state.

3. What triggers various regionalist projects?

• Regionalism was made possible and inspired by the end of the Cold War. The development
of globalization, levels of current economic interconnectedness, and, specifically, the
globalization of the structures of the international economy, prompted nations to launch
initiatives designed to counteract the pressures of the world economy.

4. Do globalization and regionalization converge? How and when do they converge?

• Perhaps globalization is the norm now, particularly due to trade, which is essential for
every nation in the globe. Regionalism, particularly internal regionalism, may be a sign of
poor leadership by a specific nation. To put it another way, both must coexist for the benefit
of the local population as well as the global community on the whole. History has already
shown that this unity does not weaken a country's identity values.

5. In your opinion, what is the most pressing concern that developing countries should address
globalization? How should it be addressed?
• One of a nation's main issues that has to be addressed is poverty. One of the main causes of
a developing or third-world country's ongoing development is poverty. I am aware that
each country has its own problems, but the majority of nations worldwide regard this as
their main issue. In my opinion, these nations ought to be genuinely concerned about and
supportive of one another, especially given that there may still be some competition.
Nevertheless, we should support one another by bringing in more investors to boost their
economies.
