Abstract
This paper examines globalism vs. regionalism as it pertains to U.S. foreign policy in Iraq. It defines globalism as a policy that looks at the world as a whole and seeks global solutions to regional problems. It explains that regionalism looks at certain regions of the world as homogeneous units with similar cultures and beliefs. In the regionalist philosophy, the nations within these regions will naturally band together and form alliances, and regional bodies will solve problems within the region.
From the Paper
"In recent years, globalism has come to have a great focus on terrorism and terrorists. It focuses on the worldwide existence of terrorists and looks for global solutions to the terrorist issue. In vowing to keep the world safe from terrorism, the United States has expressed a very globalist philosophy. Efforts to exterminate terrorism have expanded worldwide, and most countries that are involved in the United Nations now have ongoing anti-terrorism efforts. Further, these countries are cooperating with other nations in order to apprehend and detain suspected terrorists. Those convicted of terrorism now face the very real possibility of being tried in an international court of law. Terrorism and its threat have brought the nations of the world together as never before."

Abstract
This paper takes its cue from the fact that the dichotomy of "Globalism vs. Regionalism" was used to analyze situations in the Third World during the Cold War, and it can be used today to analyze the divide brought about by and perhaps contributing to terrorism. During the Cold War, "globalism" referred to the almost exclusive focus on the Soviet Union while basically ignoring regional realities. The paper argues that today, the new globalists are those who focus almost exclusively on terrorism and terrorists, while basically ignoring regional realities.

"As the world economy becomes increasingly globalized with information capital and people flowing seamlessly across international borders, a new phenomenon has arisen that is the embodiment of this new economic reality at the local level the global city region. As national borders become less distinct, city borders have followed suit. In order to compete in the global economy, cities are increasingly eschewing their borders and realizing that by leveraging their entire region they can provide a more attractive product to ever more discerning international business interests. Global city regions are ... "

Abstract
This paper looks at the concepts of regionalism and globalization and their relation to the development of the European Union. It is argued that, while regionalism has been the guiding force behind the establishment and growth of the EU, it is ultimately a process, a stepping stone if you will, towards broader globalisation.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The globalization of markets is the merging of distinctly separate national markets into a global marketplace and tastes and preferences converge onto a global norm (Martin, 2007). The increased globalization of markets occurred with the reduction in trade barriers and the removal of restrictions to foreign direct investment."
"Many economists believe that all countries benefit from engaging in free trade agreements. This belief shapes the economic policy of many nations and is the premise for trading blocs. Trading blocs are groups of countries that form institutions to help manage, regulate and police the global marketplace. Nowhere has the world seen a better example of economic integration than in Europe (Hill, 2004)."

The Global South and the Global North, 2007.
An analysis of the impact of globalization on the inequality between the global north and the global south.

Abstract
This paper looks at globalization and discusses how it has exacerbated the pre-existing inequalities between the poor global south and the wealthy global north. It illustrates how globalization forces some people (predominantly in the southern regions of the planet) to work while permitting other people (predominantly individuals residing in the global north) to become wealthy.
From the Paper
"To start with, it is commonly known that powerful multinational corporations in the global north habitually take their manufacturing operations from Europe and/or America and deposit those aforementioned manufacturing operations in global south countries where they can avoid the onerous regulatory regimes, high corporate taxes, and high wage costs they associate with the north. At the same time, the movement of jobs and plants to the south has the unhappy effect of not only costing workers jobs in the north but also of reducing the south to the subordinate position of being "hewers of wood and drawers of water" for multinationals that are looking for cheap human resources that can be utilized in a working environment that is more permissive than the highly-regulated work environments of America and/or Europe. A good example of this phenomenon can be found in the IT sector where skilled U.S. workers are losing jobs to individuals overseas (Sosbe, 4) - presumably because the "cost of doing business" vis-a-vis wage expenses is lower in global south nations which do not have a strong tradition of labor activism or of government involvement in employee-employer relations."

Abstract
This document discusses the role that regional integration plays within the context of global business and enterprise with an emphasis on Asia and China. The paper focuses on The World Trade Organization as an example of the importance that a unified trade apparatus among nations plays in developing a global economy vis-a-vis regional integration.
From the Paper
"For Google, whose line of business is centered on one of globalization's chief technologies, the internet, global integration led by the World Trade Organization (WTO) has been of primary importance to its own expansion. The WTO has been the leading agent in the promotion of global business and regional integration for many years. In tandem with other international bodies, the WTO has spearheaded global business practices founded on the principles of free and fair trade and nowhere has this effect been more pronounced than in Asia and particularly in China (Mendoza & Bahadur, 2002, paras.2-8).

Abstract
Many prominent scholars, and even the World Trade Organization (WTO), have attributed the wave of regionalism during the past decade to developments in the WTO, such as the slow, difficult, or failed negotiation process. This paper shows that frustration with the WTO negotiation process is not the principal explanation for the expansion of regional integration (RTA) in the past fifteen years. Although several developments in the WTO have contributed to the expansion of regional integration (RTA), there are other accounts that are relatively important, such as systemic, societal, and ideational that have to be considered. First, the paper reviews the account centered on the frustrations with the WTO negotiation process and brings it under the umbrella of broader developments in the WTO, which have encouraged RTAs. Second, the paper demonstrates that there is a political economy process behind the formation of RTA in which state relations, domestic interest groups, and ideas all play important roles. Third, the paper discusses the effects of changing international political conditions on the expansion of regional integration. Prior to the concluding remarks, the paper mentions the domino theory in order to move beyond the distinctions that give primacy to one account of RTA. Finally, the paper provides concluding remarks.
From the Paper
"Central to the societal-state explanation is the ideational account of RTA expansion. This relates to the rethinking of neo-liberalism underway by the end of 1990s, which is crystallizing into the emergence of a new mode of market governance. A key element revolves around the notion of public power and its deployment within the confines of a broadly neo-liberal model. Emphasis has squarely fallen on the state in governing markets in order to make the capitalist structure more legitimate and sustainable. This signifies a movement towards market making role of the state, in particular in the Southern Cone and other developing countries."

Regionalism: Building Block or Stumbling Block?, 2005.
This paper answers the question key to multilateralism: does regionalism enhance or undermine the international economic order?

Abstract
This paper takes a balanced position with regards to the impact of regionalism on the international economic order (IEO). Regionalism can undermine and enhance the IEO. The paper first defines the terms regionalism and the international economic order. Second, the paper outlines key arguments that address the "building block vs. stumbling block" question on regionalism. Third, the paper turns to the empirical evidence to weigh the two sides of the argument. The final section provides concluding remarks.
From the Paper
"The paper borrows the definition of regionalism from Winters (1997) as "loosely any policy designed to reduce trade barriers between a subset of countries regardless of whether those countries are actually contiguous or even close to each other." Furthermore, paper includes in the scope and coverage of regional trade agreements (RTA), both symmetric and asymmetric, free trade areas (FTA) and custom unions (CU). Regionalism and RTAs will be used interchangeably, while accounting for the considerable difference in scope, configuration, and timing of RTAs. The international economic order entails a multilateral arrangement to achieve trade liberalization and stable financial markets. One purpose of the order is to proximate free trade among all nations. Therefore an enhancement is further global liberalization, underlined by a most favored nation (MFN) principle. The means to this end are rule-based multilateral organizations such as the World Trade Organization. It emerges clearly from the definitions that precisely because RTAs are both a subset of liberalization and an exception to the MFN principle, regionalism can both enhance and undermine the IEO. How these elements play out is what will be explored below."

Abstract
The writer defines both terms and explains ways in which countries have implemented these policies. The paper also seeks to give arguments on either side as to which policy is better for the world. The writer looks at the perspectives of the smaller countries of the world as well as those of the major players.
From the Paper
"Contemporary regionalism is typically the linking up of one or more small countries with a major player: in the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement, Mexico subsequently became incorporated into the North American Free Trade Agreement, the new members of the European Union are tiny compared to the union itself, as is the case in the Europe Agreements between the EU and former communist states, and there are numerous other examples of this consistency."

"In the future, people of different cultures will draw closer together. This future is based on the existence of a New World Order in which economic forces, not culture, drive the global community. Nations are increasingly becoming interdependent, making communication between cultures an economic necessity.

Nations are increasingly becoming interdependent, making communication between cultures an economic necessity.
The main focus of global economic strategy is maximizing international efficiency. Products are manufactured wherever in the world the lowest cost can be achieved. With global strategies, managers produce standardized products. These products are manufactured in world-scale facilities using globally integrating operations. Unlike traditional managers, who design their products for the home market first, global strategic managers conceive and design their products for world markets from start to finish. The existence of global markets ..."

From the Paper
"Most Panamanians have access to medical care. Most medical facilities are located in the urban areas and provide good quality healthcare in modern hospitals that are comparable to hospitals in the U.S. and other countries. There are no health concerns that are unique to Panama, like many global nations Panama is being greatly affected by HIV/AIDS and Tuberculosis. Travelers who visit Panama should consider purchasing oversees medical insurance because care is given based on cash payment if insurance is not available. Panama is facing many environmental issues such as agricultural runoff, wildlife endangerment, deforestation, land degradation, wetland destruction, and soil erosion (WHO, 2007)."

From the Paper
"Singapore is a highly developed and successful free market economy, enjoying an open and corruption-free environment, stable prices and one of the highest per capita Gross Domestic Product in the world. Singapore?s economy depends heavily on exports, particularly in electronics and manufacturing (cia.gov). During the last three decades, Singapore?s booming economic growth largely outperformed the world economy. Some of Singapore?s export partners include the U.S., Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea and Hong Kong. Specifically, Malaysia is a large import and export partner to this county. One of the country?s international disputes was with Malaysia over deliveries of fresh water to Singapore. However, as a transportation and financial services hub, Singapore is vulnerable to be used as a transit point for Golden Triangle heroin and as a venue for money laundering (cia.gov)."
