Local Solutions in a Global Environment: Facilitating National Strategies in New Zealand
Journal Title: Journal of Globalization Studies - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
How should New Zealand respond to the multiple, intertwined and fast-changing impacts of globalization? What strategies are available to this small South Pacific country and how may these be facilitated? This empirical research frames the facilitation of selected local solutions in a global environment within the theoretical perspective of pluralism and communicative action. The facilitation of aspects of national policies in the domains of science funding, economic development and regional growth is reviewed. Electronic meeting technology was employed. The focus question is: ‘Does electronic discourse increase the success of local solutions in a global environment?’
