CONTRADICTIONS AND TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER:

GLOBALISM IS A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PROCESS INTERCONNECTING POLITICAL ECONOMIC, MILITARY, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL SPHERES OF LIFE — AND IT IS INTERNATIONAL IN SCOPE

[[[FILM EX: “NEW WORLD BORDER”THE TWO MOST CONSEQUENTIAL FEATURES OF GLOBALIZATION – {1} HYPER-MOBILE CAPITAL {WORLD CAPITALISM} AND {2} COMPLEX HUMAN MIGRATIONS {TRANSNATIONAL STRATIFICATION SYSTEM}]]]

[[[MY VERSION AND INTEREST LIES IN]]] — “NEW WORLD BORDER”

WORLD CAPITALISM AND GLOBAL STRATIFICATION ======> DEVELOPED COUNTRIES {THE “GLOBAL NORTH”} IN POSITIONS OF POWER MAINTAIN THEIR ADVANTAGE BY EXPLOITING THE DEVELOPING COUNTRIES {THE “GLOBAL SOUTH”} AS CHEAP LABOUR

{A KIND OF MARXIAN “RESERVE-ARMY” THESIS REGARDING FLEXIBLE SOURCES OF LABOUR =====> IN GLOBAL AGE THIS MEANS UNSKILLED, SEMI-SKILLED AND HIGHLY-SKILLED WORKERS}.

EX: FILM — MILITARIZATION OF BORDER ENFORCEMENT ====> ANTI-IMMIGRATION HYSTERIA {PROPOSITION 187 CALIFORNIA; HARMONIZATION OF BOARDER SECURITY NAFTA}

DEFENSIVE FORTRESS MENTALITY ====> GLOBALIZATION {EX: NAFTA} {1} DESTABALIZES LOCAL ECONOMIES ====> {2} DISPLACES POPULATIONS ====> {3} UNLEASHES TREMENDOUS INTERNATIONAL MASS MIGRATION MOVEMENTS (TO URBAN CENTRES — URBANIZATION — GLOBAL CITIES) ====> {4} CRIMINALIZES UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTS FROM “THE GLOBAL SOUTH” AS PARASITES/DANGEROUS/TERROR THREATS ====> {5} GLOBAL MASS MEDIA REINFORCES GEO-POLITICAL HEGEMONY BY CONSTRUCTING “THE GLOBAL IMMIGRANT” AS A TARGET/ FRAMING MIGRANTS AS A DANGEROUS ELEMENT/ “COLOURED BODIES” CAN BECOME “RACIALIZED” {RACIALLY STEREOTYPED} AS “POTENTIAL THREATS TO ORDER AND CIVILIZATION”.

IRONIC CONTRADICTION: THE NEW FORTRESS MENTALITY DOESN’T CURTAIL UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATION IT ONLY CRIMINALIZES IT ====> MASS MOVEMENTS OF PEOPLE {GLOBAL MIGRATION} CONTINUES TO INCREASE CHALLENGING NATIONAL GOVERNMENTS TO DEAL WITH A “GLOBAL HUMANITY” BACKLASH.
