We will begin with competing theoretical perspectives on globalization, and then investigate issues such as British controversies over globalizations’s impact on labor, the environment, state sovereignty and culture. We will use local resources such as the City of London (London’s financial center and long the linchpin of Britain’s global role); London’s many post-colonial diasporas and the cultural hybrids they have created; and even the English Premier (soccer) League as the world’s most internationalized sports league.
