Course Description

Globalization has opened up many opportunities over the past century. However, it has also altered international power structures. We now interact with our environment and supply models all around the globe. Globalization is moving at a rapid pace that no one can stop, but they can try.

Globalization is a phenomenon that governments and citizens around the globe attempt to either benefit from - and limit its negative effects - or to avoid.

This course will help you understand why people are pro- or against globalization. This course explains why certain countries and governments choose to define boundaries while others opt for integration.

Many countries have tried to limit the global market's impact within their borders. Some see this as a rejection of Western culture while others are subjected to authoritarian regimes. We will look at several examples to show you the challenges and factors involved in refusing to build strong international relationships.

Rejecting global culture is to reject moral imperatives that were often created by other cultures and collectives. These are reviewed, as well as critiques of humanitarian law, human rights, or how one might choose to reject universal norms.
