＜概要/Course Content Summary＞

This course explores the complex phenomenon of “globalization.” Using a broad and conceptual approach, students are asked to examine the common features of globalizing processes, such as interaction, integration, fragmentation, economic flows, speed, standardization, identity, political structures, mobility, and connections. Students are also asked to consider from a multidisciplinary perspective key questions that often arise when discussing the topic of globalization, such debates as: Is globalization a new phenomenon? Is globalization related to neoliberal economics? Does globalization help to spread democratic ideals? Do the poor become poorer and the rich richer through globalization? Does globalization lead to cultural homogenization? Is globalization really just another word for Americanization? The aim of this course then is to show how globalization is not monolithic, but rather contested, constructed, and reconstructed, both in ways that constrain and empower individuals and communities.

＜到達目標/Goals,Aims＞

By the end of this course, students will understand the various trajectories that globalization embodies. Students will know the major approaches to the study of globalization used by various academic disciplines and will be encouraged to use theoretical insights and methodological tools to develop their own critiques and contributions to questions related to this global phenomenon.
