The End of the Nation State

In his article "The End of the Nation State," Kenichi Ohmae discusses the end of the nation state and the necessity of a transition back to regional power. What piqued my interest in Ohmae's argument was his discussion of how the peoples of the world, "no matter how far-flung geographically or disparate culturally," are all linked to much of the same sources of global information. Obviously this is a direct result of the birth of the Technology Age. The availability of global information has influenced the government to impose more restrictions and control. This, in turn, has played a major role in leakage of informatoin. These kinds of leaks make it possible for gangs to succesfully operate under the radar.
