After the classical end of colonialism and its overall value, using their knowledge of Western powers in the Third World discourse plays a dominant role. China's current landscape design is the product of a strong culture and weak culture in the context of unequal power differentials dialogue. In a period of cultural globalization denied the essential characteristics of the national culture and cultural identity, the Chinese landscape design should promote national culture, which is China's real development of modern landscape orientation.

The Third World

There is something seriously flawed about models of social change that posit the dominant role of in-built civilizational motors. While “the rise of the West” makes great ideology, it is poor history. Like Jared Diamond, I believe that we need to situate the fate of nations in a long-term ecohistorical context. Unlike Diamond, I believe that the ways (and the sequences) in which things happened mattered deeply to what came next. The Mediterranean is a particularly useful case in this light. No longer a center of progress after the sixteenth century, the decline of the Mediterranean is usually ascribed to its inherent cultural deficiencies. While the specific cultural infirmity varies with the historian (amoral familism, patron/clientalism, and religion are some of the favorites) its civilizationalist presuppositions are clear. In this respect the search for “what went wrong” typifies national histories across the region and prefigures the fate of the Third World.

This article seeks to critically examine the performances of Ramayana as one of the cultural attractions is held periodically in the area of Prambanan temple. This study is motivated from concerns about the negative impact of globalization that hit the third world countries, including Indonesia. Among the negative form of globalization is economic and foreign cultural invasion that further marginalize local economic actors and diluting the national culture. Ramayana is an example case interesting because it uses global influences into Indonesia and transforming positively for the benefit of culture-based tourism. This tactic proved to be successful to make Ramayana as a tourist attraction that is quite attractive to foreign tourists or domestic. The article attempts to read the Ramayana as a form of glocalization, which emphasizes creativity in combining global elements with a particular locality. In addition, this article seeks to offer alternative improvements to the Ramayana using Multi-Stakeholder Governance framework and Value Chain approach. Artikel ini berupaya melakukan telaah kritis terhadap pagelaran Sendratari Ramayana sebagai salah satu atraksi budaya yang diselenggarakan secara periodik di kawasan Candi Prambanan. Telaah ini dilatarbelakangi dari kekhawatiran akan dampak negatif globalisasi yang menerpa negara-negara dunia ketiga, termasuk Indonesia. Diantara bentuk negatif globalisasi ialah invasi  ekonomi dan budaya asing yang semakin meminggirkan pelaku ekonomi lokal dan melunturkan budaya nasional. Kasus Sendratari Ramayana menjadi contoh menarik karena berhasil mempergunakan pengaruh global yang masuk ke Indonesia dan mentransformasikannya secara positif untuk kepentingan pariwisata berbasis budaya. Siasat ini terbukti berhasil menjadikan Sendratari Ramayana sebagai sebuah daya tarik wisata yang cukup diminati bagi wisatawan asing ataupun domestik. Artikel ini berupaya membaca Sendratari Ramayana sebagai bentuk dari glokalisasi, yang menekankan pada kreatifitas dalam menggabungkan antara unsur global dengan lokalitas tertentu. Selain itu artikel ini juga berupaya menawarkan alternatif pembenahan terhadap Sendratari Ramayana menggunakan  kerangka pikir Multistakeholder Governance dan Value Chain.

Abstract:The state of the art is summarized showing many efforts but only few results which can serve as demonstration examples for developing countries. Education in health informatics in developing countries is still mainly dealing with the type of health informatics known from the industrialized world. Educational tools or curricula geared to the matter of development are rarely to be found. Some WHO activities suggest that it is time for a collaboration network to derive tools and curricula within the next decade.
