Political Application of Integration Techniques of Globalized

Economic TheoryPast and Futuristic Examples Presented in the Media


2/16

BACKGROUND

The world trade system is in the process of unifying its processes across

international trade regions to support the consolidation of resources andimplement a control structure initially at the regional level to service an

eventual consolidation and control of all regional resources into a unified

entity

This effort is a shift from the fragmented regional economics that creates

the basis for conflict

Regional political application of integration techniques of global economic

theory to support world trade processes unification and its impacts has

historical precedence as well as metaphorical futuristic interpretations in

the media

ISSUE:UNIFYING AND MAINTAINING

VERTICAL CONTROL OF A SOCIETY AND ITS

RESOURCES WHICH SERVES A SELECT OLIGHARCHY

FOR THE RIGHT TO EXIST VERSUS THE HORIZONTAL

IDEA OF UNIFYING SOCIETY WITH EQUAL TRATMENT

AND EQUAL ACCESS TO OPPORTUNITES AND

RESOURCES UNDER A COMMON RULE OF LAW

GOVERNANCE THEORIES AND ETHICAL AXIOMS IN CONFLICT

UTOPIAN

Pure Democracy with Universal Membership with all members

treated and recognized equally

Utilitarianism idea: "It is the greatest good to the greatest number of

people which is the measure of right and wrong Jeremy Bentham,

(1776). A Fragment on Government. London., Preface (2nd para.).or

as these ideas are more popularly positively expressed in media as;

Logic clearly dictates the need of the many outweighs the needs of

the few . Mr. Spock, (appox. SD 8130.3)/(1982 AD) Star Trek 2: The

Wrath of Kahn

GOVERNANCE THEORIES AND ETHICAL AXIOMS IN CONFLICT

DYSTOPIAN

Corporate Oligarchy with Selective Membership based on acceptanceand adherence to oligarchic edicts and policies in concert with;

The Corporate Profit Imperative: Maximize Shareholder return on

investments. These ideas are negative applications of the popular

media idea of;

the needs of the one [few] outweighed the needs of the many.

BEHAVIORAL MOTIVATIONS DETERMINING GOVERNANCE &

IMPLEMENTATION OF ETHICAL AXIOMS

Dystopian propensity of Individual Human Nature to survive and maintain

control over resources and environment at the expense of others, resulting in

socioeconomic imbalance and conflict.

Utopian notions of Sharing and distribution of resources and the idea of good

of the many is undertaken only if it serves the aforementioned dystopian

precedent.

Extending the idea of the individual to the dystopian idea of an oligarchic

Corporation as an individual

All forms of organization, regardless of how democratic they may be at the start, will

eventually and inevitably develop oligarchic tendencies, thus making true democracy

practically and theoretically impossible, especially in large groups and complex

organizations. Robert Michaels, (1911) Iron Law of Oligarchy

The Corporate Dystopia with Utopian Intent

BEHAVIORAL MOTIVATIONS DETERMINING GOVERNANCE &

IMPLEMENTATION OF ETHICAL AXIOMS

All forms of organization, regardless of how democratic they may be at the start, will

eventually and inevitably develop oligarchic tendencies, thus making true democracy

practically and theoretically impossible, especially in large groups and complex

organizations. Robert Michaels, (1911) Iron Law of Oligarchy

The oligarchic Corporate practice of aggressive and invasive vertical and

horizontal integration techniques to achieve and maintain control overresources and the environment by an elite minority within an oligarchic

Corporate framework in the name of the Profit Imperative at the expense of

an excluded majority .

Applies to For-Profit and Non-Profit entities depending on the profit

metric used.

CLASSICAL VERTICAL & HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION THEORY

In microeconomics and strategic management, the term vertical

integration is a type of related diversification that describes a style of

nearly total ownership and control. The degree to which a firm owns its

upstream suppliers and its downstream buyers determines how vertically

integrated it is. In microeconomics and strategic management, the term horizontal integration

describes a type of ownership and control. It is a strategy used by a business or

corporation that seeks to sell a type ofproduct in numerous markets. Companies

are in the same stage of production and also in the same industry. This process is

also known as a "buy out" or "take-over". The goal of Horizontal integration is to

consolidate like companies and monopolize an industry.

VERTICAL & HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION: A POLITICAL VIEW

Politically applied vertical integration may describe a style of nearly total

control of a constituency. The degree to which a governing body controls

its industries and citizens though legislation and compliance determines

how vertically integrated it is and its level of success in contributing to

socioeconomic stability.

Horizontal Integration may involve political tactics to foster political and

legislative support for an agenda across industries and constituent

demographics (both treated as sentient entities), to comply with political

vertical integration initiatives

STRTEGICALLY APPLIED POLTICAL HORIZONTAL INTEGRATION

EXAMPLE

Organize Industry sponsored lobbying groups including but not limited to Security and Defense

Transportation

Natural Resources and Energy

Environmental

Health Welfare, and Education

Labor Several Lobbying groups may strategically represent the diverse interests

of a oligarchic Corporation

Success of a engaging a lobbying group is dependent upon the resources

of the lobbys potential clients to undertake an agenda, the alignment of

the agenda to its lobbyists agenda, and the clients confidence in the talent

that is engaged to achieve the goals of the clients agenda

Assemble Talent an Resources to gain access to decisionmakers

STRTEGICALLY APPLIED POLTICAL VERTICAL INTEGRATION EXAMPLE

Lobbying and PAC groups promote legislation including but not limited to Security and Defense

Capital offensive and defensive Weapons (e.g., BPAC, LMEPAC, etc.)

Counter terrorism (e.g.,USINPAC, Counterterrorism Technologies Corp)

Transportation (e.g., The Ferguson Group, Alcalde & Fay)

Natural Resources and Energy (e.g., USA*Engage)

Environmental (e,g., ACEE, CREST) Health Welfare, and Education (e.g., Heath Policy Source, NEA)

Labor (e.g., AFL-CIO,UAW)

Finance (American Bankers Association, American Insurance Association)

Political donations through campaigns and charities (overtly and covertly)

Success of a lobbying groups agenda is dependent upon the resources of said

group to undertake its agenda, the alignment of the agenda to its sponsorsagenda, and the talent of its operatives to influence policy and those who

implement policy

Lobby to enact legislation to ultimately benefit a oligarchic

Corporate agenda

WORLD OLIGARCHY AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS

Ongoing worldwide protests about the framework and function of the

socioeconomic and geopolitical establishment cultivating autocratic behaviors

Deteriorating worldwide financial infrastructure and the weak perception and weak

confidence in the financial system cultivating autocratic behaviors regionally

OLIGARCY VERTICAL RESPONSE TO THE HORIZTONAL ORGANIZATION

OF THE WORLDWIDE SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT

Oligarchy to use political application of counterterrorism protocols regionally and run

campaigns to keep the regional social justice (SJ) movements from coordinating and

communicating (e.g., SOPA, Loppsi2, and Measures in Asia)

Implement Emergency Military Protocol following a catastrophic event that strains and

deconstructs regional control of laws and infrastructure as a response to:

Terrorist Attack or Economic Upheaval

Private security forces will most likely be engaged to supplement and augment deficiencies in

military force implementation or dissent within the military infrastructure

Infiltration and Segmentation the SJ movement and support resources through rendition,

propaganda, and paranoia to incite division within the SJ movement

Maintain Need to Know for the front line military and security operators implementing order

during a crisis to mitigate human empathetic and psychological response that would promote

possible dissent within the vertical security apparatus leading to deterioration of vertical

control

SOCIAL JUSTICE MOVEMENT HORIZONTAL RESPONSE TO THE

VERTICAL ACTIONS OF THE OLIGARCY

It is vital to the SJ to develop a clear socioeconomic platform that may call for the

accountability and regulation centralized banking entities within each region in concert with

education and training of the members of society to a nominal level so as to address thecurrent needs of stabilizing regions through bank sponsored funding and promoting self

sufficiency and resource sharing where appropriate.

Platform may include institution of trade based on commodity supported currency rather the

de-facto credit system currently in place (this is highly inefficient)

Communicating horizontally across regions through Implementation of consistent non-violent

passive resistance which promotes frustration and reactionary behavior by the oligarchy

Allowing a hall-of-mirrors persecution perception within the oligarchic structure fostering

potential distrust of oligarchic members and agendas within the structure mitigating

effectiveness of the oligarchy

POTENTIAL OLIGARCHY PARDIGM SHIFT CONSIDERATIONS IN THE

NAME OF SOCIOECNOMIC LONGEVITY

Accounting for the individualistic survival aspects of Human Nature, the oligarchy must

realize the unidirectional accumulation of resources at the expense of an excluded majority is

ultimately counter productive to the survival of the oligarchy.

Taken as a sentient life organism, the oligarchy minority must have a positive symbiotic

relationship with the majority in that the majority must be given the opportunity to participate

in an oligarchic structure through cyclic development and promotion from the lower classes

into the oligarchic structure. This shall alleviate some perceived social injustices

The majority must look horizontally and educate its membership on the vertical nature of the

oligarchy in support of the paradigm shift of cooperative inclusion by the oligarchy

The oligarchy must maintain a sense of mortality in that leadership of the oligarchy must

definitively cycle periodically to mitigate sociological stagnation and complacency giving

consideration to recruiting potential leaders developed from the majority

This promotes and maintains the true understanding of the state of the society in a horizontal

fashion where diversity within the oligarchy developed as a result of cyclic inclusion

strengthens an oligarchy against adversity and dissent from the majority . The Rule of Law must apply to and be accepted and practiced by the majority and minority

Rise of the Cooperative Oligarchy


16/16

Accept the realization that change is inevitable and that the both the

leadership minority and an included majority in an Cooperative Oligarchymust respectfully exist if a society is to function.

Cyclic horizontal development of majority members into a vertical minority

leadership allows for growth and mitigates stagnation

A Cooperative Oligarchy must have a vision to and promote growth innovation

amongst its members

Shift the paradigm from pure Accumulated Profit to Shared Profit for the

benefit of the minority and majority
