Globalisation and war
In a sea of blogs, finding good ones is a challenge. Amongst the diamonds in the rough is Zen Pundit by Mark Safranski. If you ever need brain food, Mark's the goto guy. He has organised a roundtable on the topic of Globalisation and War, and has asked myself and some esteemed company from academia, think tanks and beyond for their thoughts on the issue. The first three posts on the topic are up, with additional posts to come from Austin Bay, Dr. Sam Crane, Adventures of Chester, Paul D. Kretkowski and Professor RJ Rummel. It should prove good reading in the days ahead, and I'll update this entry as new posts are made. I've taken the liberty of reposting my contribution below the jump. Yes, I'm incredibly flattered to be included in such august company. I'll let you judge if my piece holds up against the others. Day 1: Myself, Bruce Kesler and Doug Macdonald Any thoughts or comments most welcome. The upcoming WTO conference in Hong Kong has everyone on edge. Hong Kong’s security forces are preparing for the inevitable anti-trade protests. The governments’ participating are inching towards an agreement, but it is by no means certain. Hong Kong’s government frets it will play host to a giant farce, with nothing agreed and everyone’s time wasted. Yet the WTO represents one of the greatest economic achievements of the modern era: trade liberalization. And Hong Kong embodies the free trade spirit better than almost any place on Earth.posted by Simon on 11.09.05 at 03:51 PM in the World category.
