The Global South - An Independent Monthly e-Journal for Global Interdependence

Dear Webreader,

Welcome to NORTH AMERICA CALLING section of The Global South, a Globalom Media production. This monthly e-journal was launched in March 1999.

NORTH AMERICA CALLING is purported to be a window on a part of the world that is of crucial significance to the fate of our globe. We are of the view that in a globalizing world, it is important to pay heed to the regional and local interests of those who people our planet.

Join us in making NORTH AMERICA CALLING a success. You may also like to visit EUROPE CALLING, ASIA CALLING and AFRICA CALLING. If you are particularly interested in South Asia, we recommend our sister publication SOUTH ASIAN OUTLOOK.
