global ranks

With the new number of Foreign Policy comes the sixth version of their globalization index. This one corresponds to data from 2004. Surprinsingly enough, NL comes lower this year. Well, perhaps is not a surprise, because NL goes on loosing her position in the top ten globalized countries. Two years ago it was number 4, in 2005 number 5 and now we go down to number 6.



But given that politicians have discovered once again global warming with the Stern report, perhaps this graph is more interesting. Look at the position of NL in respect to production of pollution



So...not much to be proud of... will the elections result change this? One can always hope!
