COURSE OBJECTIVES: Globalization has been a trendy word for decades. This graduate/post-graduate level course examines globalization as a phenomenon and explains its various dimensions, including economic, cultural, political, and security focuses. Begin with the development of globalization, this course proposes that economic interdependence constitutes the bedrock of this phenomenon. However, this perspective needs to be supplemented with a focus on global inequality. In addition, cultural and political globalization reveals the differences between civilizations and societies, and the situation is further complicated by the advancement of military technology. International organizations, states, and individuals have changed their roles vis-à-vis other actors in world politics. This course aims to help students to develop their own understanding about and application of the concept of globalization.

COURSE REQUIREMENTS/EVALUATION: This course is a seminar, and student attendance and participation are essential to the course. Preparation and discussion are therefore highly encouraged. The composition of evaluation is as follows: 1. Weekly Oral Presentations (20% x 3): Each week one to two students will be responsible for analyzing and critiquing the assigned readings. This presentation should include a 15 minute assessment of the author’s main argument(s), the evidences and sources used, and the principal findings. Each student will be presenting his/her views and leading the discussion for three times in this semester. Prior to his/her presentation, the student is required to submit a 2-3 page essay highlighting the key analytical issues in assigned readings. 2. Team-based Presentation (25%): The class will be divided into several groups to present case studies with regard to globalization. Cases will be derived from contemporary and current events or individual backgrounds of the class. After oral presentation, this team-work needs to be concluded in a 6 to 8-page paper. 1 Details will follow in class. 3. Attendance and Participation (15%): Discussion is essential to the class and students are required to submit questions based upon the reading materials for each week (one question for MA students and two for PhD students) prior to the class, by 10pm on Wednesdays.
