standardization/levelling/flattening Explanation: I prefer "standardization". Against Cultural Standardization - Contro l'omologazione culturale http://www.a-cultural-s.org/p1.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 min (2007-10-26 16:11:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "homogenization" may be an option "One would expect that in Europe the welfare state should act as a substitute for low horizontal cultural homogenization — an expectation that is consistent with the more relevant role of European states in social protection." http://www.uclouvain.be/cps/ucl/doc/etes/documents/21.Pagano... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 min (2007-10-26 16:13:22 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "An excessive move towards cultural and linguistic standardisation can be undesirable if it is not complemented by a sense of European solidarity. Otherwise, the feelings of insecurity of the groups that are disadvantaged by the move may generate anti-European and pro-national feelings. Indeed, instead of an excessive push in this direction, redistribution policies may be preferred as a “better substitute” for cultural and linguistic standardisation in order to cope with the market uncertainties arising from specialization." http://www.uclouvain.be/cps/ucl/doc/etes/documents/21.Pagano... |
