Description:Although the products of globalization are far from new, globalization as a process in the Pacific-Asian Region is both dynamic and problematic.

The Challenges of Globalization defines globalization as "supra-national ideas and processes that cross national borders with impunity." Such "ideas and processes" may appear to possess a will of their own, fostering closer links between cultures, societies, and economies. But, do they?
