This interdisciplinary course focuses ON substantive dimensions of globalization BY considering recent changes occurring IN the economic, political, social, AND cultural realms of society. These themes are analysed BY considering recent empirical studies, which seek TO clarify our theoretical understanding of globalization through advanced social scientific research. The substantive themes covered include GLOBAL capitalism, the GLOBAL division of labour, GLOBAL governance, the changing role of the nation state, transnational social CHANGE, AND cultural homogenization AND heterogenization. Interconnections BETWEEN these aspects of globalization are highlighted.
