RE overlapping and intertwining jurisdictions GLOCALIZATION CROCKALIZATION

This was a phrase from another's commentary on Sovereignty At Bay, not long ago, discussing, and waffling, whether nation state sovereignty had really been dissolved by MNC trade and investment phenomena, and quibbling about the definition Vernon had meant.

(Albeit, in the US, we never had many indicia of nation state sovereignty, to begin with. This, after all, had been the problem with the Articles of Confederation, and has remained a deep but lesser problem under the Constitution.)

Moreover, I had written a few comments, some time ago about a great book, on State and Local Politics, in the US, its subtitle 'The Great Entanglement'. Eg, Why Iowa?, etc.

What an apt subtitle for both the local state federal, and the global, situation, 'OVERLAPPING AND INTERTWINING JURISDICTIONS'.

It fits nicely into the 'blobalization of weak sovereignty' theme.

One might call it globlocalization, or Glocalization.

MARKET CAPITALISM AS A PROCESS FOR GLOCALIZATION.

A science fiction book once used a term for alien love, or something, 'Grock' was it?

BLOCS ARE NOT SO EFFECTIVE, IT SEEMS, GOING FORWARD, AND

ARE GLOBS THEMSELVES, EACH SUBJECT TO BUBBLING ASUNDER AT FAULT LINES OR ELSEWHERE.

My father had a pet term for things he disdained, a contraction, he called such things a 'Crock'.

Thus,

Crockalization.
