Pramod Mishra, an erstwhile contributor to TND and to other Nepal-related Web forums, teaches English at Duke University in North Carolina, US. He's in Kathmandu for the summer.
As per Pramod, glocalization is new word: a mixture of globalization and localization.

You can read a related, very interesting article on "Globalisation and Nepal" by Aditya Man Shrestha at www.fonnj.org. You'll have to get there by clicking on "Download/View Booklet "Saathi" (in PDF file format)" (on right hand column of the home page) and going to page 8.

I am somewhat wary of reading essays that have such lofty titles such as "Globalization and Nepal", but then again , that's just my narrow-mindedness.
Or perhaps I am too familiar with Aditya's writings :-)
On another note, since Pramod is here for some time and since he -- originally
from the Morang area -- now teaches writing to English majors at Duke University, I am trying to "fasao" him into offering, through Martin Chautari, either a half-day or full-day ko Writing Seminar/Workshop for Kathmandu-based Nepali writers who write essays and commentaries in English.
Pramod is quite interested to do just that.
Logistics need to be worked, of course.
If any of you -- amateur, aspiring, part-time and real writers out there --
have any suggestions/advice re: how to make this proposed Writing Seminar/Workshop useful, please either post your views or email me.
Needless to say, this Seminar is not going to be a remedial, correct-the-basic-grammar type of event.

Thnx Ashu ji, putting here to the topic of Globalization and it is a redicolus posting that how Promod says Globalization is a new word in coming of 21st CENTURY??? I had a chance to read articles by Prof Theodore Levitt of Harvard ( probably you know him) and Susan P. Dauglas/Yoram Wind, Prof of New York University's Graduate School of Business Administration and The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania (the Lauder Professor and Professor of Marketing ) published in early and mid 80s (Harvard Review and Columbia Journal of World Business ). Prof Levitt was a proponent of the Globalization and Prof Dauglas and Wind examined critically to the Professor Levitt's notion of Globalization. I dnt know how come Promod is going to give his presentation Globalization as a new WORD (TOPIC) in the MC and to its respectable audiences? Does he really work at Duke Uni of NC, USA??? DOES HE want to be LATO DESH KO GANDO TANNEREE? And I would suggest you that do not make very shoddy to the MC/ It has very good impression among young development worker and thinkers.

Rajib-ji,
The word is: gloCalization and NOT gloBalization.
GloBalization, of course, has a long, if recently all the more
intensified, history of debates and discussions in the academia.
I, for one, had not heard of "GloCalization", until Pramod mentioned it.
It sounds like an interesting word; probably has to do with LOCAL
implications of globalization, I am not sure.
Pramod was and is NOT claiming credit for the invention of that word.
I am sure that that's the kind of word that gets tossed around in Duke's
hyper-theoretical English department. :-)

and how long before someone else comes up with "lobalization" (you first heard it here)? then a theory can be thrown together behind it--something like free the civic mind and the global village's collective ass will follow. or, for the blogger crowd, it could be "blog-alization".
"think global, act loco" ~some cheesy greeting card
