Dangerous imports - Borderless diseases - Crime - Terrorism - War Involves .violet[flows], .violet[processes], and .violet[structures] (sometimes __intended__, often __unintended__) --- ### Borderless diseases Diseases crossing borders is not new, but the .violet[speed] and .violet[extent] are in current age This is particularly affected by the increased movement of people throughout the world (global people flows) .orange[Uneveness:] Less-developed nations are more likely to suffer and least likely to have access to medications and health care (also true for some poor within rich nations) -- ### Examples .orange[HIV/AIDS] - Particularly devastating in Africa - As with other diseases, the necessary medications available in the North are less accessible in South (i.e. price) .orange[Flu ] – Number of pandemics, latest bird flu (H7N9) .orange[Ebola virus] – high death rate, impact usually limited by rapid global response --- .pull-left[ ### Crimes Globalization linked to an increase in .violet[magnitude] and .violet[value] of cross-border crime Can include: .green[drugs], .green[money], .green[victims], .green[criminals], .green[stolen] and .green[illegal goods] Global attention to this flow has also increased Decreasing power of nation state makes barriers to such flows more difficult State does retain 保留 power to _define_ what is illegal – with some states able to impose their norms on other parts of the world ] -- .pull-right[ ### Terrorism .green[Actions that cause death, serious bodily harm, and serious damage to public or private property, places, facilities, or other systems] Closely related to crime, e.g. financially Stateless terrorism, e.g. al-Qaeda 基地/蓋達 State-sponsored terrorism Global aspirations and reach via technologies Counter-reaction increasingly global Tactics raise human rights issues: e.g. drone 無人機 ] ---  .footnote[Source: https://www.scmp.com/business/money/article/1440524/money-laundering-huge-hong-kong-and-macau-crime-survey] --- ## But let's look at a more mundane issue today .pull-left[ <a href='https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipORJzxgwfzrdekLHYJHDbU99ePT9HvN0lp-GI6dRT8ADnSlD2EwKw-XAo-FOefqyw?key=UWI4ZzlqaGF2NXN2SFRrV2V1Smh1ZWg1ZkNHYld3&source=ctrlq.org'><img src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/N_4Hm7jMyXqufg_qFWvXOSQyH-6T7xegriVaJowobJ4Ordiz4yr373oGm-nUk1-MKcfhDD46XxLqw-Q6TxP6SMhTygyE8SoAQa752gWaMhVGys_a1lAmlo6m9MOP4Ay2RTUv9Uuj2LA=w2400' /></a> ] .pull-right[ <a href='https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMWCG3mwbEbnlCwNna0vpiZkJAbRY9ZSg19nZ5quCNicKQlZ9QMksCvN46RYFkyXw?key=SzVMbXU4T2NxRkd5YlpqSkE3REhyY3JkWE9rYnZ3&source=ctrlq.org'><img src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/UX5fOelzknZpsn8ankvqM5Lcb9IMbFjWY7bLJtSBZg0HRaImugGl1T6DC4BSSFxgYe_qRnzw7JSMLgeyaQpQg1k4kEqoiD4rQKngTtILzDGrgJw67XGHGIR3KLjZvn5ZTwXaUgM0L74=w2400' /></a> ] --- .pull-left[ <a href='https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNY2ZzgGIZRVfdy11DvVhNFJXTVHf5IbAZaQ5fIcf5K0kDtJ6Thuemzg_EgGVvzTw?key=cUtWUFk3NGMxV05tWG1IY3htaGVWalBDQ2swVnJ3&source=ctrlq.org'><img src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/iHyGF5IjtSaC4OBUqfxzwzW1SRcnKw5Adl2MViUGHauLa1qkll44HSR64XEc26pYp9yLFxiAZENC3bY8F0gbeziQ5LbdNcyTmWWzVJKlw9mD0R6cqbePJtQ2xXETpFawnz7rLTRMAr4=w2400' /></a> ] .pull-right[ <a href='https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipON8HZ3VJPnh_SqSD1GsOQjh3MbdmOpCuQCsf8g3migYZ4UyuZjCCTrl599V0SkOg?key=RGVKTjY5dHNCQUR1YW85eUh3ZXFmc1lpMEFkZThB&source=ctrlq.org'><img src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/afBjlrhWn6WBt2Zt9T3n9KG4v5U2QwDNz6hds5hIgw9dzNrD0a9KS6azd-48Gz9nGwpkHkNROAosaTfmlnwF47FNHMjqrfBpBdEOQOWbC3rDm7EJUF5e45ZUdDTVIqFxxT2S7q_n3C4=w2400' /></a> ] --- .pull-left[ <a href='https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipMBhzKsdONGCQPnx8VpUigDGsmP4Hdvi5vSh4YDAxHKpKbN23oDBRbwBVbECZNXuQ?key=QXZSQmNSMUFlOWQ3Tm1JQmc0UVk3TjNXVHdMVjh3&source=ctrlq.org'><img src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/PphqhBRBzZ0B1WvlCipzyEbnPV6nmOLCuQc_oUbEGg046DclfC9y-_vvCaBQbJA4D2StBVBTVq6-Eb8mAotEQUUVNH6-FZoZ5QJiIZlHhvMiB_5M4UPlcrsMU7U1-2tr9OIV7TThgCQ=w2400' /></a> ] .pull-right[ <a href='https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN_grMyDByRYifF3b2ZmeiFuWoJIhf1rvXzzZa49AJ8-rxwYV3wuOfrwXJUk0o7nQ?key=SUFkdWV0Ym1XREVGZHp2bWxKNEVpTlFLQ2NEX0dR&source=ctrlq.org'><img src='https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/83r5Q8mj3AyT61ejcQss52wmJVED4AYT7d-an-5dPMaaKIrVOeB5Szn3gz1KgFfAR1t9wHVExBT8aD1z-9-mvd6A0zgQ7Zcg4dBc2xzfp6kgq7LS2zPL4TPrP7PPHFwYrmtyJJXHTWE=w2400' /></a> ] --- background-image: url(https://theinitium.com/project/20160825-taiwan-fisheries-web/static/media/south_pole_pic1.51952976.jpg) background-size: contain ## .violet[Antarctic krill 南極磷蝦] --- class: middle, center background-image: url("./pic/antarctic.png") background-size: cover ## 「靠山吃山，靠海吃海」 ## If you live on a mountain , you live off the mountain ; if you live by the water , you live off the water -- # But you cannot find Antarctic krills 南極磷蝦 in any regular water --- background-image: url(https://theinitium.com/project/20160825-taiwan-fisheries-web/static/media/south_pole_pic2.75eaa43d.png) background-size: contain --- ## .red[Technology] intensive & .red[Capital] intensive Distant fishing uses highly specialized vessels: -

Rational choices may have irrational consequences. --- ## .red[Summary] Negative globalization involves dangerous flows, processes, and structures Dangerous imports, diseases, crime, terrorism, and war can all flow through borders and most are doing so at __increased__ speed and volume Attempts to erect/maintain barriers can be hampered by the __declining power of nation-state__, but also involve __new technologies and alliances__ The direct effects of globalization on individuals should not be lost in studying at the global level --- ### What cost are we paying to satisfy our lives? <iframe width="1000" height="500" src="https://pmdvod.nationalgeographic.com/NG_Video/449/603/1140784195788_1516407260413_1141207107927_mp4_video_1024x576_1728000_3.mp4?autoplay=1&loop=1" type="video/mp4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> --- .pull-left[ <blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">“Small shark heads are set out to dry in Mauritania (shark fishing is illegal there).
