Globalisation: To kill a Chinese
2008-05-29 23:55:00 Guilt, moral and distance.In The Genius of Christianity, published in France in 1802, Chateaubriand formulated one of the most repeated questions of the XIX century: would you agree to the killing of an old, sick Chinese mandarin in distant China, just by wishing it, to inherit his immense fortune?Today we don't kill the Chinese, nor the Indians, nor the Uzbeks - we eat them. We feed ourselves on human flesh, we dress ourselves on human skin, and our houses are made of human bones."Go, buy yourself another pair of jeans", said the fake priest to the fake blind man. "O conscience ! ne serais-tu qu'un fantôme de l'imagination, ou la peur des châtiments des hommes ? Je m'interroge ; je me fais cette question : « Si tu pouvais par un seul désir tuer un homme à la Chine et hériter de sa fortune en Europe, avec la conviction surnaturelle qu'on n'en saurait jamais rien, consentirais-tu à former ce désir ? » J'ai beau m'exagérer mon indigence ; j'ai beau vouloir atténuer cet homici...

Dhamma in the age of Globalisation
2008-04-19 22:48:00 Dhamma in the age of globalisation Can the ancient teachings of the Buddha, which date back more than 2,500 years, cure the modern angst of globalisation? Ask Seksan Prasertkul, and the answer from the former Thai Marxist revolutionary is a firm ?yes?. ?The problems arising from globalisation are essentially spiritual,? said Seksan, a former leader of the 1973 students? uprising and a one-time guerrilla who once chose violence as a path towards change. Buddha Dharma, or Buddhist teachings, as the spiritual medicine for human suffering is therefore needed more than ever in the age of globalisation, he said. In his view, globalisation is not all bad. Its fierce forces of greed and competition may have spurred more intensive individual pursuits of material gains that destroy human connections. The great disparity it creates may have triggered deep resentment among the oppressed who often turn to tribal violence to stave off globalisation threats. ?But globalisation has...

Disarmament & Globalisation: Old & New Wisdoms
2008-01-07 08:35:00 Around the time that the Wall Street Journal published a well-received and watershed opinion-editorial by Henry Kissinger, Sam Nunn, Charles Schultz and others signalling a potential new beginning in nuclear disarmament public policy, a new project emerged?entitled ?Disarmament and Globalisation??based at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, United Kingdom. As was reported on this blog later in 2007, momentum picked up in June when the UK Foreign Secretary echoed the op-ed?s call and those of many others for a world free of nuclear weapons. Great: the ?D-word? was making something of a comeback, this could only be a good thing and we pressed on with our work.However, with this apparent progress there still seemed to be a disparity between calls for nuclear disarmament and the Trident renewal in the UK or the continuing debate over the Reliable Replacement Warhead program in the United States.What also appeared evident, and at SOAS we heard it most clearly, was that ...

Open Source Food, Drink, and Globalisation
2007-07-20 15:02:00 Normally applied to software, you can extend the Open Source ethos to food and drink. So, how do no-brand, no-logo cola, chicken curry, and beer affect globalization? What Is Open Source and Why Is It Important? We live in an era where image is nearly everything; the proliferation of brand-name culture has created consumer wants as opposed to needs. However, Open Source is different. As Richard Stallman says: Every decision a person makes stems from the person’s values and goals. People can have many different goals and values; fame, profit, love, survival, fun, and freedom, are just some of the goals that a good person might have. When the goal is to help others as well as oneself, we call that idealism. My work on free software is motivated by an idealistic goal: spreading freedom and cooperation. I want to encourage free software to spread, replacing proprietary software that forbids cooperation, and thus make our society better. But while Open Source built a software rev...
