Abstract
There has been a worldwide trend in changing strategies and strategic manoeuvres since September 11, 2001. The date is a definite watershed. The concepts of globalisation, liberalisation and internationalisation have undergone drastic changes since then, to suit the particular needs of the developed and the developing nations. The author feels that under these circumstances, the geopolitics of population will have an increasingly leading role to play in future. Many more states (countries) will desire to form alliances, unions, and associations to combat the localised geophysical economic factors that may be afflicting their regional growth. Thus educational planning will need comprehensive direction. The author reviews the role of the comparativists, who in turn need to re-examine the regional biases against/for globalisation in view of the voluminous growth in information, finance and technology involved in furthering the advance of globalisation.
