LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITIES

Connecting local and global communities - Willingly or not, we are inevitably involved in a network of
relationships and connections with the rest of the world. At the same time, as Scouts and Guides, we are part of a
worldwide movement shaped by people from different cultures and with different identities. Being aware of and
open to these relationships at the unit level is the first step towards being able to use them for the benefit of
society, both in our neighbourhood and in the world.

Local - Globalisation tends to emphasise similarities, whereas local emphasises difference. The relationship
between the individual and the group is dynamic in that both depend upon and interact with each other. The
cultural context in which this occurs is what distinguished societies from one another. Retreat from the intense,
irrevocable impact of the Global, is the desire to retain roots, traditional structure, autonomy, local authority and
the belief in a cohesive value system.

Global - "Globalisation is the process whereby individual lives and local communities are affected by economic
and cultural forces that operate world-wide. In effect it is the process of the world becoming a single place.
Globalism is the perception of the world as a function or result of the processes of globalisation upon local
communities." (Ashcrost,B., Griffiths,G. and Tiffin,H. (1998) Key Concepts in Post-Colonial Studies, London:
Routledge.)
We propose a novel, distributed approach for analyzing communities in social networks. In this approach, we
define communities from two perspectives: local and global. Firstly, the local communities are identified by
each node in a self-centred manner. Then, the global communities are captured using the notion of tendency
among local communities. Our approach is especially suitable for decentralised and dynamic networks. We
present formal definitions and experimentally verify our model on both static and dynamic networks.
