Globalization And International Political Economy
Course Number:
870
Course Description:
This course will start with a scrutiny of the topic of economic globalisation, by first defining the phenomenon, delimiting the major sub-periods in the Post-War era, while familiarising the student with the major transformations that have taken place within the domains of commerce, finance, production and migration. Some time will be spent discussing changes in patterns of commodification and accumulation, as well as the palpable evolution that has taken place in the major global economic institutions. We will then examine the effects globalisation has had on the model of the Westphalian nation-state and international relations, while studying various different approaches that aim to shed light both on the essence of such entities at present, and the way they are likely to develop in the future. The question of state-sovereignty, and the degree to which it can still be realised fully in practice, deserves particular attention within this context.
