Contents
Referencing -- please read this first
I know referencing in Powerbase is difficult for newbies until they get the hang of it and we are trying to make it simpler. So here's a very simplified guide. All new contributorss should read this before starting--it'll save a lot of grief later. http://www.powerbase.info/index.php?title=Powerbase:A_Guide_to_Referencing#The_super-quick_guide_to_referencing
Sentences
Please also use complete sentences when writing/starting an article for Spin, eg John Smith is the Conservative candidate for Biggleworth East...
Not just a page title and then a fragment like 'Conservative candidate for Bigglesworth East'
Page Titles
All pages in this database which are part of the globalisation project should have titles beginning "Globalisation: ". Make sure you add the colon ':' immediately after the word 'Globalisation' when creating a new page, then a space and add the name of the person or organisations you are adding.

Conflict and Private Security Industry
The conflict communication and reconstruction industry - The work of 'rebuilding' areas destroyed by war and other excesses of globalisation is big business, as is the PR element of these wars. See for example:
- Globalisation: Post Conflict People - an NGO "committed to reviving societies suffering from recent or on-going conflicts", whose directors happen to be the directors of the Association of Private Security Companies;
- Globalisation: Albany Associates - a related group expert in communicating the 'reconstruction' message Associates - Strategic Communication Project;
- Globalisation: Glevum Associates - who take 'market research' into the warzone - Why Glevum? ;
- Globalisation: Leonie Industries - who go beyond market research into 'cultural advisory services' and worldwide media distribution Industries - About.
i Diplomacy
- Globalisation: Alliance for Youth Movements (www.movements.org) - a group founded and funded by the likes of google, facebook, youtube, pepsi, cbc, MTV and the US State Department to promote digital activism - famously the 'twitter revolution' in Iran. This is an important developing area in which the role of globalisation in the media and communication is very interesting, see for example | this essay by Sami Ben Gharbia on internet freedom and Arab digital activism.

- Globalisation: European Ideas Network - One of at least four networks of free market think tanks.
- Globalisation: Centre for Social Justice new Conservative think tanks set up in 2004 by Iain Duncan-Smith
