Globalisation Studies - GLSTB13424 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Globalisation has emerged as a defining trend of the early twenty-first century. This stream addresses the main themes and debates that relate to globalisation and the concept of the ‘Global’. It locates this process in relation to human rights, world history, international relations, international political economy, global development, cultural contact and distance and large-scale social change. Questions about the rising levels of inequality world-wide, the environment, the changing role of nation-states and the nation-state system, the relationship between globalisation and transnational corporations, the growing power of international institutions and organisations, and the significance of cultural homogeneity and heterogeneity, and technological change will be examined.
