Eric...

no no no - what it shows is the opposite, it confirms the meaning of 
globalisation as being precisely for 'development'.  Nation state 
globalisation is the current operational form of globalisation, with a 
few extra-national organisations. The purpose of globalisation is 1) 
development and  2) continuing dominance of G20 countries... why did you 
think it was different?

The rest of the world is being quiet... the G club is growing...
