Course Description
Globalisation is the growing integration and interaction across various levels of society and economy worldwide, propelled by technology, transportation, and communication. It includes the flow of goods, services, people, and ideas across borders. Economic globalisation involves integrating national economies into the international market.
While some see globalisation as a source of economic growth and poverty alleviation, others raise concerns about inequality, exploitation, and environmental harm.
What will you learn?
This module will examine the economic aspects of globalisation over the past 30 years, its history, perspectives, and effects, aiming to serve as a foundation for classroom discussions.
We will look at the historical roots, the mainstream view celebrating globalisation, the neo-colonial critique of wealth disparity, and the post-industrialist view on its varied impacts on different social classes.
