	Global National - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Global National is the national newscast of Global Television Network in Canada.
		Prior to its launch, Global aired Canada Tonight (which it had inherited from the WIC group of stations) for a few months; that program, in turn, had replaced regional newscasts such as First National.
		The program, covering national and international news, is aired live at 6:30 pm on Global stations in the Eastern Time Zone.

	The Global Economy: its necessary instruments and cultures
		While globalization leaves national territory basically unaltered, it is having pronounced effects on the exclusive territoriality of the national state - that is, its effects are not on territory as such but on the institutional encasements of the geographic fact of national territory.
		Adding these three components of the new geography of power to the global footloseness of corporate capital reveals aspects of the relation between global economy and national state which are not adequately, or usefully captured in the prevalent notion of a duality global-national conceived as a mutually exclusive set of terrains.
		This process of denationalization of national territories cannot be reduced to a geographic conception as was the notion in the heads of the generals who fought the wars for nationalizing territory in earlier centuries.

	Global Beat: National Security Concept of the Russian Federation
		The key elements of the national interests of Russia are the protection of the individual, society and the state from terrorism, including international terrorism, and emergency situations of the natural and technogenic nature and their consequences, as well as from the dangers arising from hostilities or as the consequence of such hostilities in wartime.
		National interests in the spiritual life boil down to maintaining and developing the moral values of society, the traditions of patriotism and humanism, and the cultural and research potential of the country.
		National interests are ensured by the institutes of state power, which operate, in particular, jointly with the public organisations working on the basis of the Constitution and legislation of the Russian Federation.

	Global Television Network - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Global's Middle East correspondent Martin Himmell's documentary Confrontation at Concordia, on conflicts between pro- and anti-Zionist students at Concordia University, was strongly criticised for bias and selective reporting but was aired serveral times in prime time by the network in 2003.
		In 2003, Global signed comedian Mike Bullard, host of the nightly Open Mike with Mike Bullard on CTV and the Comedy Network, to a multi-year contract for a new nightly talk show on Global, but The Mike Bullard Show was cancelled after 60 episodes amid poor ratings.

	NIC - Mapping the Global Future: Executive Summary
		Indeed, a nation’s level of technological achievement generally will be defined in terms of its investment in integrating and applying the new, globally available technologies—whether the technologies are acquired through a country’s own basic research or from technology leaders.

	Victor Davis Hanson on National Review Online
		High budget deficits, trade imbalances, enormous national debt, and growing military expenditures will supposedly take their toll at last, as pampered Americans consume what by the new global rules they don’t quite earn.
		Globalization and technology, of course, can speed up these shifts and accomplish in a few years what used to transpire over centuries.
		Then the boutique practice of anti-Americanism among the global elite will come to an end.

	Foreign Policy — National Interests - Global Issues
		The United Nations, an international body to tackle various global concerns, as an example, has been constantly abused by those who have the power to act unilaterally when the international community's views and opinions do not agree with their own national interests.
		In the increasingly smaller global community, "national interests" do not necessarily mean that they are good for the international community.
		As political pundit Thomas Friedman puts it: "In the globalisation system, the United States is now the sole and dominant superpower and all other nations are subordinate to it to one degree or another ".

	NPR : Three Views on Global Warming
		He's found almost no sign of global warming in the satellite data, and is confident that forecasts of warming up to 10 degrees in the next century are wrong.
		And he's using his considerable stature to advocate a far-out scheme to slow global warming: giant machines would absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and the concentrated gas could be either pumped deep underground or turned into carbon-rich rocks.
		Christy is a respected climatologist, but he's also a maverick who argues that global warming isn't a problem worth worrying about.

	"Local, Global, or National?..." by R. Andrew Sutton, University of Wisconsin-Madison
		Its negotiation between local, global, and national forces is especially complex and contradictory, for in its self-conscious quest to Indonesianize pop Indonesia by combining it with various regional musical elements, it exoticizes the indigenous and champions the Western.
		MTV is not just global or globalizing--in Indonesia it is also national, promoting those Indonesian artists who exclude regional elements (language, musical instruments, scales, forms, etc.) in their music, but who in turn may incorporate more specific, local elements in the visual dimension of their videos.
		Dangdut is not yet global (despite its popularity in Malaysia and its few imitators elsewhere); its presentation on Indonesian television contributes to its strong identity as a national music--incorporating some foreign elements, but at the same time maintaining, through its cultivation of an "Eastern" style, resistance to the oft-feared onslaught of globalization.

	CDC - Global Surveillance, National Surveillance, and SARS
		As long as national capacities are weak, international mechanisms for outbreak alert and response will be needed as a global safety net that protects other countries when one nation’s surveillance and response systems fail.
		One of the partners in GOARN is the WHO Global Influenza Surveillance Network, which was established in 1947 to guide the annual composition of vaccines and provide an early alert to variants that might signal the start of a pandemic of rapidly evolving influenza viruses.
		As many times occurs with emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, national surveillance mechanisms failed to identify and respond to the emerging outbreak of SARS early enough to prevent its toll of sickness, death, and international spread (14).
