Course Description:
In order to understand contemporary international society in the wave of globalisation, it is no longer enough to follow behaviour and interaction of governments. Now it is essential to grasp that of other actors, such as NGOs, supranational organisations, migrant or indigenous communities, and other cultural entities including minorities and individuals who have transnational networks and influences. We also need to understand historical process of globalisation which include expansion and dissolution of European empires that formed present structure of various multicultural societies. After defining globalisation and methodology, the first half of the lecture will shed light on transnational influence of international migration and cultural exchanges through colonisation, decolonisation, and structural changes of postwar international politics. The latter half of the lecture try to analise reasons and solutions for contemporary issues concerning international migration. Area focus will be on the Asia-Pacific region with examples from former British colonies and Japanese policies.
