On the production side, the studies in this book illustrate the concrete mechanism of the global flows, or the import and export of such cultural products and commodities, which in turn elucidate the cultural logic of such perceived needs for global connection in Asia. Evidently, the entire structure of the continuity of globalization is unnatural, and is manipulated and driven commercially by transnational, regional, and local cultural corporations and/or politically controlled by governments or semi-official bodies who control their local media and access to it on a macro level, with the worsening global economy, it seems that the political-economic forces coming from the major cultural power centers of the world also are pushing for a boundary-free and seemingly more oracular version of globalization in the hope of reaping more profit from global markets. A decade earlier, cultural globalization perhaps was merely an extension of soft power, asides from economic interests. However, with the recent financial crisis in the USA, globalization is now, more often than not, seen as an economic panacea for its nation economic. Thus, the world will see more of the pushing forces of globalization than ever before, and this global structure has been perpetuated and continuously strengthened. These trends have also been occurring in Asian nation states that are attempting to globalize their cultural products, including Korea, Japan, and china.
