The narrative of globalization can be somtimes hidden. Most do not view the
sedimentary layers of the debate on globalization. One must look at the
invisible dynamics at play. for example the areas of the concept of offshore,
as a key dynamic. The process of the accidents that occur that where not
politcal or economic. One must look at the philosphical to the material and
spitural. For example our concept of soverighty and the bonding of its people
and a nation. Here offshore today has moved to a new form of commericaliztion of
soverignty. This is a key part of globalization. so in fact it is how we use
space and how space in the irrational/raitonal process shapes our fluid muitiply
identities that then shape the process of the policy of policy making and
the directions of powerflows.
