Entry: Global Hybrids Go Home Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/global_hybrids_go_home#25953 Post contents: A simple test of the major premise of cosmopolitanization-as-a-fate, would be if the number of nations is getting smaller. On a moving average though, there has been a proliferation of new sovereign polities, perhaps every one of which, wins much greater loyalty than its more cosmopolitan predecessor (e.g. USSR, Yugo., Somalia, Czecko.,Serbia with Montenegro and Kosovo, etc.). If fate is operating, it would seem to be in the other direction than the believers in universal brotherhood and cosmopolitan loyalties have been telling us. Prosperity seems to prefer un-cosmopolitan Japan, Taiwan and SKorea, and directs growth toward monocultural China. Diversity-celebrating America depends abjectly on the dollar support from monocultural Japan and China. May the State department itself be slapped down into the most complete humiliation by its faith, and be forced to recognize Somaliland, Puntland and Jubaland! Sent at: 2008 07 24
