Globalization: The World "in a Swivet"

Dear readers,
.

I received a return email from Mexico City today from fellow Latin Americanist, George Grayson of William and Mary College, telling me he is "in a swivet" and too busy to read something I sent him. I mentioned the word "swivet, " which I had never heard before, to a fellow political science instructor at TCC, who said, "Excellent word, describes the state of business in the world today." I could not agree more.

.

Here is another presentation, with a long historical perspective, on Globalization from a respected academic institution: Yale University 's Center for the Study of Globalization, that might clarify it for some who are still asking, "what is this Globalony all about?"
