Local/Global (my field of knowledge, no less)

And the problems of urban overcrowding are more than a local concern -- if, as some commentators maintain, it is cities rather than nation-states that are the avatars of the New World Order.
Which is what American journalist Robert Kaplan has been saying for some years now: "Nations as we know them," he wrote in The Atlantic Monthly, "have existed for only a few hundred years. But cities have been with us since the dawn of civilization." In his bleak vision of tomorrow, "cities and their hinterlands will make alliances and fight wars with and against each other -- less over territory than over bandwidths in cyberspace and trade privileges." He suggests that a true map of the world would reflect a world order that is "a hologram in constant motion, showing how power and sovereignty shifts and overlaps."
