This course examines the phenomenon of globalization and its impact on cultural identity as well as the conflicts in values and belief-systems that have arisen in its wake. We will explore the economic, cultural, political, and social history of globalization and deglobalization and consider how people have responded to such issues as mass migration, the globalization of the economy, commodity production and consumption, the globalization of culture, and relationships between globalization and politics.
