Cultural Dimensions of Globalization

Catalog description

While recognizing that a developing consensus exists on economic globalization, this course explores the broader cultural and philosophical implications of globalization. Extending beyond economic globalization to the social, political and cultural dimensions, one must indeed explore the substance of what is being “globalized” in each of these aspects of public life. This course invites learners to grapple with the question of whether or not the world is ready to implement an expanded globalization or whether a “dialogue among civilizations” is a necessary intermediary step in the process.
