Debating Globalism and Nationalism, Past and Present

Catalog description

Students deepen their understanding of the different and alternate political forms or bodies that communities have taken, including but not limited to national states and global empires, and what advocates and critics alike have said about the advantages and shortcomings of each. Students also examine the varieties of citizenship from the ancient and modern world, including different perspectives on what citizenship entails and how it is defined or delineated; what rights and/or responsibilities may be involved; and what such concepts as 'global citizen' may or may not mean.
