ISSUES IN GLOBALIZATION

Course Description

This course aims to provide a holistic perspective on the historical development of globalization. It will examine the definitions of globalization in different centuries and geographical dimensions to provide a pre-theoretical framework for understanding the heterogeneous and diversified nature of globalization. Issues such as multilateral institutions, diplomacy, human rights, and terrorism constitute the fundamental aspects shaping contemporary world politics in the era of globalization today will be discussed. At the end of this course, students will be able to analyze the emergence of a state-centric global society, globalization of international system and constructing a global civil society with different theoretical perspectives.
