The aim of this lecture is to account for the rapid globalization of the financial service sector in the modern world economy. The lecture has four specific objectives: (i) to present an adequate definition of the financial service sector; (ii) to account for the rapid ascendancy of service industries in the world economy; (iii) to present a case study of producer financial service growth; and (iv) to introduce the major commentators who have written on the globalization of the financial service sector in the world economy.
Processes of financialization are claimed to manifest at a number of scales, ranging from higher levels of instability within the economy as a whole, through pressure exerted on corporations by capital markets, to the equity effects of the financial system on individuals and households.. In seeking to explain the change within contemporary society financialization has to date been relatively underplayed, particularly when compared to similar and related concepts such as neoliberalization. While the concept of financialization has the potential to unite researchers across cognate social science fields, thereby building critical mass and recognition within social studies of money and finance, we argue that to date research has been insufficiently attentive to the role of space and place, both in terms of its processes and its effects.There are 6 sessions in this module such as:
Session 1 - Banking and the Financial Services Sector - 24 November 2009
Session 2 - The Service Sector, the WTO and GATS - 27 November 2009
Session 3 - Asian, Russia, the World : Considering Financial Crises - 1 December 2009
Session 4 - Globalization, Financial Services and the Environment - 4 December 2009
Session 5 - Financial Services and the Role of Corruption - 8 December 2009
Session 6 - Chaos and Kondratiev Waves : Self Governance, Creative Destruction or Free Market - 11 December 2009
Sometimes when I discuss with him, I feel so ambrassing looking a his face and express my ideas. May be our age different, he 28 and me 42 . At the age of 25 he received Phd Degree from Aberystwyth University. He joined Loughborough University in 2006 as a Lecturer in Human Geography within the Globalisation and World Cities Research Group (GaWC) at Loughborough University. He has widen knowledge about research methodology and urban development planning in theoretical way. He had published a few journal articles in European Planning Studies, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Geography Compass ,Journal of Economic Geography , Geoforum and Space & Polity.
When I think back and take positive way put the issue of age and experience aside , if we collaborate the idea and knowledge, its will enhance my Phd research. The discourses sessions start from 2 until 4 pm every week. Its so interesting and we discussed about the concept of regionalism and governance. During the session he never shown that he knows everything, his down to earth attitude and respectful other people ideas really make me honour working with him. Thank You Dr John Harrison

On 25-28 November 2009, I have a chance to present my PhD research at international conference in Delft University of Technology. I was so honoured to meet Prof Saskia Sassen (The Idea of Global City) from Columbia University, New York and Prof Manuel Castells (The Idea of Network Society) from Professor Emeritus, University of California, Berkeley. Both of them are the main the speakers for the conference. The both icons are among my core research references . So many people want to meet them. During the coffee break I met them and discuss my research framework. The discussion so fruitful with the ideas how to enhance my research. Sassen and Castells suggested to me to search the concept of City for People vs City of People, Complementary City vs Competitive City and Network Society in the City vs Network City for Society. Their supportative and encouragement really boost my motivation to enhance my research. Thanks to my supervisor Assco Prof Dr Hamzah Jusoh, Dr Jalaluddin and Assoc Prof Dr Hazita Azman, Deputy Dean of Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities, UKM for supporting my research and funding my attendance to the conference.
I have gave a chance to do a few assignments under module 09GYP005 which related to my research. The lenght of the assignments are 6 pages. The content and format presentation are related to the high impact journal format. It's must be analytical and synthesis about the literature reviews and focus the question.

The weekly session with him started from 11 am until 12 noon is so meaningful for my research. I really gain a new knowledge about urban economic, city competitiveness and urban-region. His horizon ideas, vision and wisdom about urban development in the past, current and the future really motivate me to keep finding deeper about my PhD research. Here are a few topics that we discussed during my session with him.

The findings of the above discussion I will explore in my PhD research. For next week my discourses will be with Dr John Harrison. Our discussion will focus more on urban governance. The topic and detail of our discussion, I will inform later in my next blog.
Beginning 9 November 2009, Dr John Harrison will take over the globalization module on the topic REGIONAL WORLD. The objective of this section is to assess the role of regions in globalization. Against the backdrop of accounts heralding the transition to a ‘borderless’ world made up of transnational flows of knowledge and capital, a body of literature known as ‘the new regionalism’ appropriates how in globalization regions have become more, not less, important in a global era. This section will look at the distinction between ‘new regional spaces’ and ‘new spaces of regionalism’. This will be done through reading-centred seminars.
As well as specific readings for each session, there is one key reading for the block which is:
· Jones, M and MacLeod, G (2004) ‘Regional spaces, spaces of regionalism: territory, insurgent politics, and the English question’ Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers 29, 433–452.
Session One: New regional spaces
This session will focus on the importance of regional economies in the global era. The readings to be discussed in the session are:
· Storper, M (1997) The Regional World – Territorial Development in a Global Economy. Guildford: New York [Chapter 1 – The resurgence of regional economies, 10 years later (pp. 3-25)]
· Jones, M and MacLeod, G (2007) ‘Territorial, scalar, networked, connected: ‘In what sense a ‘regional world’?’ Regional Studies, 41, 1177-91.
Session Two: New spaces of regionalism
This session will focus on the notion of ‘region building’ in the global era. The reading to be discussed in the session is:
· Paasi, A (2001) 'Europe as a social process and discourse - Considerations of place, boundaries and identity.' European Urban and Regional Studies, 8, 7-28.
Dr John Harrison has done put together some questions which should help us to focus on what we need to take away from the readings. Try to answer the questions as best we can (some are easier than others and he has tried to put page numbers so we can see where in the article the answer lies). We will be using these papers, and in particular the questions/answers to guide discussion/debate in the seminar next week, so it is important that have read them and attempted to answer the questions.
In Loughborough University, every student before submitting their assignment they have to do their presentation on the preliminary finding of their research. They only give 5 minutes presentation with simple slides presentation. Here are my slides presentation.
After 4 weeks in Department of Geography, Loughborough University, I attended 4 classes under module Globalization, Citizens, and the State for class of 09GYB210 - Globalization by Dr John Harrison. The summary of 4 lectures stated below:
NEW STATES SPACES AND URBAN GOVERNANCEWhile some scholars have focused on the creation of new modes of global governance, others have brought attention to transformations of governance within nation-states. This lecture examine the ‘re-scaling’ of political power in cities and city-regions in the Global North.
How have urban policies changed in response to the imperatives of global capitalism?
How have urban politics contributed to new forms of territoriality?
In what ways does the re-scaling of states intersect with neo-liberal ideologies?
THE TRANSFORMATION OF CITIZENSHIP – THE WELFARE STATE
Transformations of governance have been accompanied by changing relationships between states and their citizens. Some argue that state devolution and the dominance of neo-liberal ideologies threatens the ability for marginalized groups to participate fully in society. Indeed, Western states seem more inclined to roll back social services and to curtail social rights, as seen with ‘workfare-ism’
THE TRANSFORMATION OF CITIZENSHIP – THE WORKFARE STATE
To explore the changing relationship between the state and its citizens under globalization
Why do we now talk about a workfare state?
What is workfare?
Where is it?
What has happened to the welfare state?
We still have an NHS don’t we?
What affect does this have on the relationship between the state and its citizens
THE TRANSFORMATION OF CITIZENSHIP – POST-NATIONALISM AND COSMOPOLITANISM
If for some, changing modes of governance signal the erosion of social rights, for others, it offers new possibilities for enhanced political and human rights. Some scholars, for instance, speak of the emergence of ‘post-national citizenship’, a concept that relates in particular to the expansion of the rights and privileges enjoyed by immigrants in the global North. Others have commented on the proliferation of dual citizenship arrangements and the ability for people to participate in politics across national borders. To what extent are notions of ‘human rights’ integrated into national systems? To what extent have notions of citizenship been de-linked from membership in a ‘nation’? To what extent are individuals able to access rights and to effect political change outside the framework of national citizenship? Can we fathom the emergence of ‘cosmopolitan citizenship’?
CONTEMPORARY SOCIAL MOVEMENTS
Following on from the previous lecture on post-national citizenship, we explore the ways in which ordinary people mobilize themselves politically in a globalized context. The period of state restructuring in the global North has witnessed a decline of labour unions and class-based social movements. But is has also seen the rise of new forms of social action and political consciousness. We begin with a discussion of the ‘new social movements’, a label given to the environmentalist, feminist and peace movements that gained momentum in the 1980s. We will then turn to other social movements that have emerged in recent decades, including the anti-capitalist and anti-globalization movements. We will examine how these various movements have mobilized both particular cultural identities and universal conceptions of human rights, and how that have harnessed information technologies to operate locally and globally. Finally, we will evaluate whether these movements represent a fracturing of broad-based political communities or an opportunity to build global alliances and networks to deal with global problems.
Last Tuesday and Friday, I attended second lecture but this time with Dr Ed Brown. The lecture module called GLOBALIZATION : DEBATES AND ISSUES. The subject is ntroducing students to debates surrounding the concept of globalization and to show how this concept has been invoked in a variety of geographical scholarship on the nature of space, place and territory.Outline the contributions of geographers to the understanding of globalization in the context of wider debates about processes of globalization across the social sciences. The module will be divided into a number of blocks, each block will considera particular theme, or set of themes, concerning key debates and issues in globalization. Specific themes may include:
(a) An introduction to key issues in globalzation;
(b) The importance of identity and difference in the construction and representation of geographical knowledges in relation to globalization;
(c) The place of politics and the political in the analysis of globalization;
(d) Geography and globalization;
(e) Imperialism, globalization and North-South relations.
Students will be able to show knowledge and understanding of:
(i) the contested definitions of globalization as process and epoch;
(ii) how the relational geographies of nation, region and locality are transforming under the auspices of globalization;
(iii) the changing importance of key concepts of space, place, and territory in a global era;
(iv) how connectivity and cuts, flows and fixities, speed and scale, borders and breaks, nodes and networks are producing new spatial orders at a global level;
(v) the challenges involved in undertaking geographical research and data collection to study contemporary globalization;
(vi) the distinctive contribution that geography can make to policy debates under conditions of contemporary globalization.
On second meeting with Prof Dr Peter Taylor dated 5 October 2009, 10am , he said " Well, Azmi before we go further, I want you to read a book by Jane Jacobs - The Economy of Cities (1969). I want you to read only Chapter 2 - How New Work Begins. You can find this book in the library.Then we will meet again next week" Oh my god I hate to do book / chapter review.
Then I went to Pilkington Library, Loughborough University to look for that book. I look at this small book. I think have this book that I bought in Singapore February 2007. I read only chapter 1- Cities First - Rural Development later... then I ignored this book for 2 years. Now I have to read again. This book was published 2 years after I was born. Its takes 4 days for me to understand Janes Jacobs's idea. And it is not easy. I read twice chapter 2 then I understand her vision and wisdom on city by Janes Jacobs.
I discussed with one of PhD student at Department Geography, Loughborough University. She said "Jane Jacobs's books are Prof Dr Peter Taylor and Dr Kathy Pain main references. Even though Janes Jacobs's books are classic books, many authors on global city such as Peter Hall etc always refer her books. If you work with them you should read Jane Jacobs's books." Kindly read my review below.
The Economy of Cities is about the importance of cities as the source of innovative economic change, a point that she believes economists have not understood, going back at least to Adam Smith, whom she chides for having misdirected subsequent thinking by glibly adopting the view that successful urban commerce must be founded on a successful agricultural economy. There are five major processes at work in a growing city economy:
(1) Anascent city finds a market in older cities for its initial export work and builds up a collection of numerous local businesses to supply producers’ goods and services to the initial export work;
(2) Some local suppliers of producers’ goods and services start exporting their own work. New local businesses begin to supply various goods and services for this new export work, and some of them eventually begin to export their own work. In the process, the city imports a growing volume and diversity of goods and services;
(3) Many of these imports are replaced by locally produced goods and services through “import replacement”, which is not the same process as the “import substitution” policies adopted by the leaders of various developing economies in the 1960s and 1970s. For one thing, import replacement must take place in logical stages, beginning with the parts or inputs most in demand, and must be self sustaining. For example, Japanese imports of bicycles from the West gave an incentive to local entrepreneurs and mechanics to open repair workshops, to begin manufacturing the most sought after bicycle parts, and eventually to assemble and later export bicycles entirely made of local components. For economic and practical reasons, successful import replacing can only be a city process. Import replacement creates a powerful multiplier effect and, as result, cities built their diverse economic foundations in “boom” phases. After an import-replacement boom, a local economy contains rooms for goods and services that were formerly neither imported nor locally produced, including unprecedented goods and services;
(4) The city’s greatly enlarged and diversified local economy becomes a potential source of numerous and diversified exports. The city’s exporting organizations arise by a) adding the export work to other people’s local work; b) adding the export work to different local work of their own; c) exporting their own local work. The city earns more imports by generating new exports, but many of the new exports merely compensate for declining lost work through obsolescence of older exports, transplants of some organizations into the rural world and replacement of exports by goods now produced in former customer cities; and,
(5) The city continues to generate new exports and earn imports, replaces imports with local production, and so on.
I was invited by Prof Dr Peter Taylor to join the GaWC (they say as 'Gook') meeting. The meeting will be 7 October 2009 at 1pm. I was so excited that I am a apart of the 'think tank'. There are 10 core peoples in the meeting such as Prof Dr Peter Taylor, Dr Ed Brown, Dr John Harrison, Dr Micheal Hoyler, Dr Heike Jöns and a few others key persons in GaWC. The meeting chaired by Prof Dr Peter Taylor. A few issues have been discussed including their recent seminar in Abu Dhabi...New Ways of Thinking about Abu Dhabi as an Emerging Global City. However other matters I cannot reveal here....secret....I thought I wanted to take a few photos of the members and meeting arrangement but I think its not appropriate at the moment...may be later.
One thing I learned from this meeting..10 items they have discussed but they can managed to finish the meeting within 1 hour...from 1 until 2pm. All members prepared and readied with issues need to be highlighted and what resolution need to be done. Every each of the member give their inputs and ideas...excluding me. I hope I will join next GaWC meeting.
Last Monday and Tuesday, I attended Dr John Harrison's lecture on Globalization. He has listed below some questions to help guide me reading of Neil Brenner’s book ‘New State Spaces’ (NSS), but also other material relevant to this block of lectures. I will see that most of it is not asking me to understand every line/paragraph/page of the book, more where the ideas come from and key terms/concepts to explain what is going on:
1. What 2 word concept does Bob Jessop use to explain the rescaling of state power?
2. In which 3 directions has state power been rescaled? example 2 are obvious but what is the 3rd?
3. What 3 terms does Bob Jessop attach to the 3 directions that state power has been rescaled?
4. Have Bob Jessop and Neil Brenner's paths crossed? (look at their biographies - webpage’s online!) Have they collaborated, and if so, who else has been involved and what have they done?
5. Who do Bob Jessop and Neil Brenner draw their main inspiration from? You are looking for one person in Neil's case and two in Bob's; example could this explain their slightly different take on the same topic?
6. Where did Neil Brenner visit to get inspiration for NSS? (see intro/preface to NSS) nb most of it is based on studying one part of the world. Why do you think this area of the world was a good place to study? What was going on during the late 1980s through the 1990s when Neil was there?
7. Which major geographical debate of the last decade has Neil Brenner been involved in? Does this link into any of the concepts/debates covered in this block of lectures?
8. Why do they both talk about 'governance' and not 'government'? What is the difference - how does it fit into what you know from lectures? Think pre-1970 and post-1970.
After a week in GaWC, I was amazed by lecturers here how they are focused on the content and crititical review of the assignment prepared by postgraduate students. They will assess student coursework through these criteria by :
a. Answers the question
b. Clear and logical structure
c. Independent thought
d. Quality of argument
e. Use of evidence and examples
d. Breath of reading
e. Referencing
f. Writing style
g. Presentation
The most important is "YOU MAY BE REQUIRED TO SUPPLY THIS ASSIGNMENT IN ELECTRONIC FORMAT FOR SUBMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY'S PLAGIARISM DETECTION SERVICE".... they are so serious about postgraduate's coursework...
I have opportunity to pursue my PhD research at Globalization and Global City Network (GaWC) , Department of Geography, Loughborough University United Kingdom from 23 September 2009 until 23 December 2009. I would like to thank Department of Public Services for sponsoring my study in United Kingdom.

SONG LYRIC ....If You"re Not The One by Daniel Beddingfield
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?
If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?
I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side
I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I

SONG LYRIC ...You Raise Me Up by Josh Groban
When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong,when
I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up…
To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up…
To more than I can be.
There is no life – no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be.
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up… To more than I can be
SONG LYRIC....Home by Michael Buble
Another summer day
Is come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home
Mmmmmmmm
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh I miss you, you know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky
I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home
And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
But this was not your dream
But you always believe in me
Another winter day has come
And gone away
And even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home
And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel alone
Oh, let go home
Oh, I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all right
I’ll be home tonight
I’m coming back home
