| Certificates: International Relations, International Relations Minor |
This tutorial will take a look at a number of "great books" of recent vintage that have advanced broad claims about the character of global trends in politics and economics since 1990. What are the forces promoting the homogenization of political values and institutions, and of economic practices? Do countries have any choice but to follow the policies advocated by the institutions of global capitalism? How successful are different local strategies in response to these trends? Is globalization a threat or an opportunity? |
