授業の達成目標 【英語】
Objectives of the Course [ENG] | | | In this course we look at twelve selected global problems that human society faces in the 21st century. The process of globalization since the late 20th century has brought about many benefits for societies across the planet ranging from those of major importance, like the spread of democratic norms and institutions to former dictatorships, to the more trivial, like the ability to buy Kit Kats pretty much anywhere in the world you go. It has also gone hand in hand, however, with the spread of problems of a global scale which pose significant threats to the viability of the very globalized civilization humanity seems to be aspiring to create. Whether this globalized world survives the 21st century in large part depends on our collective ability to confront and deal with these problems. The main aims of the course are 1) to familiarize students with some of the main problems faced by our globalized world, 2) to understand potential solutions to them from a variety of disciplines (legal, political, economic and technological) exist, and 3) to understand what hurdles international society faces in attempting to implement the varying solutions which are potentially available. The course is cross-disciplinary, and relies on literature from the fields of law, politics, economics and others. |
