Abstract
Reinvigorating the globalization-localization tension in both the trenches of ongoing life and relevant theories, the chapter goes on to build an analytical framework out of both to understand the post-Cold War era. Given the many instances of both local and global fragmentation and integration during that span, the chapter borrows a fragmegrative lens from the relevant literatures, identifies ten cases (chronologically: international institutions; current populist outbursts; from peacekeeping to peacemaking; spying in the global south; absorbing displaced persons; Rwandan land reform; pandemic and RMG readjustment; Bangladesh democracy; Rohingyan-Syrian refugees; and Mexican liberalization) highlighting eleven themes for assessment in the volume (alphabetically: climate-change threats, democracy, dispute settlement arrangements, elections, espionage, pandemic readjustments to global production network; land-reforms, peacekeeping, populism, refugee education, and regional economic integration), and spells out eight fragmegrative sources and four actor-aggregation levels as the “stability” measurement yardsticks. It then previews what will be found in each of the ten cases, and from these draws two eye-raising concerns: not only the advent of transitions, but also how enduring these will be; and why the “stability” trajectory will be downwardly spiraling.
