Course Description
This is a multidisciplinary course which offers you the opportunity to engage with a range of perspectives and interpretations around the theme of globalisation and its implications for the less developed regions of the world. The course focuses on the nature and meaning attached to the concept of globalisation, and the variable ways in which global economic, political, and institutional processes interact locally within the Third World. A distinctive feature of the course is that, unlike orthodox programmes in development/ Third World studies, it includes examination of the impact of globalisation on transitional and post-socialist societies. In addition to the core modules which examine the economic, political and social dimensions of globalisation, a range of options allows you to pursue studies of a number of issues, including global financial markets, the international economy, international humanitarian law, and gender and development. In addition, there are opportunities for some regional specialisation by taking options on Latin America, Asia and the post-socialist economies.
