Objectives of the Course | | The geopolitical situation in the modern world is characterized by a strong and seemingly irreconcilable tension between the spread of laws, institutions and practices beyond national boundaries as part of the globalization process, and the fact that sovereignty and implementation of law and policy take place at the nation-state level. With recent developments such as the United States’ turn toward an America-first policy in trade and foreign policy, as well as the Brexit vote in the United Kingdom, we are facing a moment of confrontation between seemingly opposed political, economic, social and cultural forces. This course will examine these tensions and discuss the trends of a more globally governed world and the return to a more nation-centric focus in some areas by examining global institutions such as the United Nations and global concerns such as the migration crisis and environmental degradation.
Students completing this course will be able to identify the major issues of global governance and their historical and contemporary contexts. They will develop critical text analytical skills through the comment papers. The debate session on transnational corporations will also constitute an important cognitive skill development. |
