Globalization: Future of the World?
A professor at the University of London, Institute for Advanced Studies in the Political Sciences and Humanities, George Modelski; writes "Globalization is a process along three dimensions: formation of world opinion, democratization, and political globalization." Arnold Toynbee's essay "For the First Time in 30,000 Years" said a lot about the future of the world and the possible discontinuation of the human species by humans ourselves. This clearly reiterates Modelski's sentiments. This quote also shows that even today there is a sense for a need of political unity in the world. British philosopher and historian, Arnold Toynbee (1889-1975), gave us a historical view of the world, examined contemporary life and prophesied about the future in this essay written in 1972. Toynbee it tells a grim tale of man's self-destruction without globalization. He said nuclear proliferation, the destruction of our habitat by the despoliation of nature and the depletion of our natural resources, and the population explosion are three man-made menaces to our future. Modelski's quote deals with exactly this-our need to achieve the fulfillment of his three "dimensions" the world needs to unite technologically, economically, socially, cultural

After the Second World War, the United Nations (UN) was created. This time the world organization had the full support of the United States and has been highly successful in its pursuit of peace, in everything except political unity. The UN respects the rights of each of its sovereign members to run their respective nations the way they see fit. World political unity may never be achieved and as Toynbee states; "the objective is not utopian, but will it be achieved?". We may never know. ...the Indian Government's response is to blame Pakistani-backed insurgence as the prime cause for the collapse of the political process. In late 1996 it was estimated that up to thirty-four groups were operating within the valley districts alone. Likewise, the holding of state elections in the autumn of 1996 were seen by New Delhi as indicative that Pakistan had, in response to international pressure, significantly scaled down its covert operations across the Line of Control. sent time.

Many groups in Kashmir have even started calling for Kashmir to become an independent nation under a secular government. With both countries now possessing nuclear weapons, the surface conflict has tapered off, but under the skin of peace violence may be brewing.

"As long as the Quebec Party (PQ or Parti Qubecois) holds the power in Quebec (Canada) and threatens separation, the country's integrity is as risk.", reports Harold M. Waller with the New Leader.
