German term or phrase: flache Welt
Die Plattform der flachen Welt ist einem Pizzateig ähnlich, sie erlaubt es jeder Kultur, sie nach eigenen Vorstellungen zu belegen, der Höhepunkt sei hier noch nicht erreicht.

Diese sehr komplexen Entwicklungen, Ideen und möglichen Perspektiven hat der Autor Thomas L. Friedman in seinem Werk „Die Welt ist flach“ grundsätzlich, insbesondere in Kapitel 12 „Die Globalisierung des Lokalen“ sehr anschaulich, in erzählender Form, dargestellt.

VIELEN DANK!

Reference: flache Welt/Friedman

Reference information:
Einer größeren Öffentlichkeit bekannt wurde Friedman durch seine Bücher zur Globalisierung. Sein Werk The Lexus and the Olive Tree von 1999 gilt nicht zuletzt aufgrund seines wenig akademischen, sehr anschaulichen Schreibstils als eines der – inhaltlich umstrittenen – Standardwerke zur Globalisierung. 2004 erschien The World is Flat (dt. "Die Welt ist flach")
