¶ … 21st century unfolds, we are told that the world is embracing globalism -- a key change in the economic, political and cultural movements that, broadly speaking, move the various countries of the world closer together. This idea refers to a number of theories that see the complexities of modern life such that events and actions are tied together, regardless of the geographic location of a specific country (political unit). The idea of globalism has become popular in economic and cultural terms with the advent of a number of macro-trade agreements combined with the ease of communication brought about with the Internet and cellular communication. Would we not logically think, then, that countries in the developing world would be doing their upmost to encourage global thinking? There are two conundrums regarding tourism within the developing world: 1) many first-world tourists want to experience something different, something more native and less urbanized when they tour a country in the developing world -- yet at the same time there are a set of expectations they have about infrastructures, transportation, medical care, and basic standards -- even when they consider themselves "roughing it.: 2) it is actually quite complicated to set up and maintain a legitimate eco-tourism or sustainable tourism in an underdeveloped country due to the complexities of transportation, sophistication of guides, and necessary materials and structures in place to service an adequate population base to make eco-tourism, as opposed to safari, profitable. Of note, as well, when dealing with sustainable issues like wildlife, as opposed to flora there is the issue of unpredictability coupled with poaching and the black market. There are several positives associated with this: advancing ecological awareness, promoting sustainable biodiversity, and sharing economic benefits with indigenous populations (Higham (ed.) 2007). Despite these trends, one of the more interesting places that has not yet been overly developed through eco-tourism, would be a retracing of the famous Silk Road that allowed trade between the east and west for over 2000 years. Of course this trip could begin...
More than anything, though, the allure would be to reflect on the importance and extraordinary tenacity it took to attempt such a journey over 800 years ago. Finally, in this era of globalization, retracing Marco Polo's trip would have a dual purpose of educating the traveler about the similarities and differences of Central Asian and Eastern Culture, but also to hopefully help those individuals encountered understand more about the West, and to remove some stereotypes along the way.

Japanese-American Biopharmaceutical Industry in the 21st Century Optimizing Ethical Drug Availability Between These Two Pharmaceutical Superpowers" The Japanese-American biopharmaceutical industry represents an ongoing international effort between the two top pharmaceutical markets in the world.
