POLT 329 - Seminar: Globalization

3 SS
Second Semester. This seminar will examine what is arguably the dominant trend of the post- Cold War world: the increasingly global nature of capitalism, together with the compression of the world through new technologies, and the consequences and reactions these trends have spurred. We will examine competing theoretical perspectives on globalization, and explore the impact on the Third World, labor, the environment, state sovereignty and world culture, as well as the rise of various movements as a result.
