GLOBALIZATION &
THE NATION STATE
WHERE DO WE STAND?
AN OVERVIEW -- 1
DİKKAT: Bu
metnin geliştirilmiş yeni baskısı için,
TIKLAYINIZ
Man, at the dawn of the
21st century, has created a new world. The future is full of hopes,
worries, uncertainties, dreams and thrills.
dawn (down okunur) =
şafak... art the dawn of = başında, başlarında... thrill = heyecan,
zevk ve heyecan...
The revolutionary
developments in the fields of communication and transportation, in
addition to other developments brought on by science and technology, have
transformed the world, making it a smaller place.
Mankind has the world
virtually in the palm of its hand. We are now in a position where we have
much more of a broader outlook. Mankind has become global
in all of his deeds.
virtually = almost =
hemen hemen, neredeyse, %99.99 oranında... palm= elin ayası... in the
palm of ... etc = avuçlarının içinde... outlook = genel görünüm
(burada manzara, görüş alanı anlamında)... deed = eylem, yapılan şey
("do" fiilinden ad)...
So where do we go from
here? What is to happen from this point onwards?
Bipolarization, namely East
versus West and North versus South, has in large part lost its
significance. The world will become a place where borders no longer exist.
bipolarization = iki
kutupluluk... significance = önem ve anlam, "mana ve
ehemmiyet"... a place where borders no longer exist = artık sınırların
olmadığı bir yer... ["no longer", "any longer",
"no more", "any more" deyimlerini "ARTIK
I-IH" diye çevirin: I don't love me any more... I love you no more]
We will come face to face
with a world where changes come at the speed of light and where events
that unfold take place on several planes at the same time.
to unfold = peşpeşe
açılarak ortaya çıkmak... plane = düzlem, düzey... at the same time
= aynı anda, birlikte...
This will be an altogether
different world and generations that follow will be confronted with the
task of both shaping and administering such a world.
altogether = tümüyle
(SÖZCÜĞÜN BU KULLANIMINI MUTLAKA NOT EDİNİZ)... to confront = yüzyüze
gelmek (genelde hasmane bir şekilde, karşı durmak anlamında)... to
administer = yönetmek, hükumet etmek...
In order to better
understand what I have just stated, let us go back in history a little.
There are enormous
differences between the state of the world at the beginning of the 20th
century and the state of the world at the end of it.
Grand technological
discoveries such as the telescope, microscope, steam, electricity,
telephone, television, jet engine, nuclear energy, satellites and the
Internet have brought about developments which were previously
unimaginable.
With these developments,
the world has been divided into two: strong, rich and developed counties
with powerful weapons, on the one hand, and countries that live under very
harsh circumstances on the other.
harsh = sert, haşin,
acımasız...
It is largely Europe that
has been the centre of the all the developments that have taken place in
the last two centuries.
Westphalia, which gave
birth to the concept of equal sovereign states, was followed by the French
Revolution. This, in turn, was succeeded by "nations," and
"nation-states" comprised of free citizens.
sovereign = egemen (sv-rın
okunur)... in turn = Bu deyimi Türkçe'ye herzaman de, da (dahi) ile çeviriniz.
Bu da, bunun da... comprise of = -dan oluşmak...
In addition to science and
technology, there have also been major advances in the areas of education,
health and industrialization.
Two horrific wars, the
first beginning in 1914 and the second in 1939 erupted in Europe. These
wars resulted in the loss of millions of lives, disintegration of empires,
the end of colonialism and the birth of independent states. Then came .
ideological conflict. It started once again in Europe and later spread to
other countries of the world.
horrific = dehşet
verici, korkunç, iğrenç... disintegration = parçalanma...
There was fascism. There
was communism. And there was democracy, which was left in a situation
where it had no choice but to defend itself.
a situation ...etc. =
kendini savunmaktan başka bir seçeneği olmadığı bir durumda...
It is a well-known fact
that ideological conflicts rest on issues such as how nations are to be
governed, how development is to be brought about and how wealth is to be
achieved.
to rest on = üzerine
dayanmak, -a dayanmak...
The United Nations, which
was founded in 1945, has made significant contributions to the
preservation of world peace and to the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
Founded by around 50 countries, the United Nations now has 190 members.
resolution = (burada)
çözüm... (Ayrıca, "kararlılık" ve "karar sureti"
gibi anlamları da vardır)...
