IDND 066 - Global Society

The globalization of cultural, economic and political life is a defining theme of modern existence. Globalization presents the possibility of a common humanity. It also offers the reality of peoples in intimate contact, yet utterly divided. The great international institutions of the 20th century—the United Nations, the IMF, World Bank, and the World Trade Organization—try to reconcile these differences. Yet they also re-assert Western dominance. This course provides a wide-ranging, historical and theoretical  introduction to these themes of global society, and serves as the foundation for study within the International Studies Stream at Clark University. Fulfills the Global Perspective.
