Abstract

Globalization is a response of mankind to a decrease in the functions of nation states. The result of this response is the development of a global information society. Following the security measures implemented after 11 September 2011, globalization came to a halt. Although globalization is a turbulent process full of contradictions and dangerous branches, this response is crucial for the future progress of mankind and it needs a new impetus. The spread of a special form of virtual economic zones could provide globalization such impetus. The results of a research and development project concerned with the intersection of Cloud computing, Big data and the Future Internet focusing on the use of IPv6 indicate that the creation of these specific type of virtual economic zones is a feasible idea. An analysis of the social and economic impact of the zones further reveals the importance and effectiveness of the zones in the revitalization of globalization.
