AAAS 87.07 Globalization and the African Continent

This course on globalization seeks to ultimately provide students with a conceptually grounded understanding of the four aspects of globalization: the economic, the political, the social and the cultural.  Four objectives guide this course.  The first is to introduce students to the main topics and debates related to the issue of globalization.  A second goal is to provide students with an array of conceptual and empirical tools that are useful in framing discussions of globalization.  Third, we will explore the multifaceted ways in which globalization manifests itself and its complex impacts on individuals and societies.  Finally, we will discuss the multiple ways in which individuals and collectives are challenging and shaping globalization in the contemporary world.  In all of this, our emphasis will be on the developing world in general and Africa in particular.
