Description
Regionalism and Globalization represents research on three thematics: Appalachia, Global Computerization and Globalization. First, the spatial expression of corporate national and transnational capitalism essentially created the peripheralization of Appalachia and today fuels the development of underdevelopment in the region. Computerization, a second thematic concern, is essentially perceived as one of the more significant instruments facilitating the technological compression of the globe. In fact, as computerization is more comprehensively embedded in the techno-social aspects of globalization, it now becomes possible to speak of global computerization or the objective computerization of the globe. Finally, Globalization is not merely a theme but a comprehensive paradigmatic shift in how we know the world. It is further, a systematic, overarching process subsuming, and in fact, configuring and reordering the former two constructs of Appalachia and Computerization. Additionally explored research includes global religion & education, international organizations, popular culture and the global internet, global sociology, the concept of humanity, and finally the global implications of Windows and Linux computer operating systems.
