Multipolar Globalization

Catalog description

Is it possible to squeeze multipolar globalization back into a bipolar world order, a global divide between democracy and autocracy, between the US and China? Multipolar globalization means multicentric understanding. Like holograms, world situations look different seen from different angles. This course discusses global political economy, intersections of geo-economics and geopolitics, the role of the US dollar, American export bans, sanctions, friend shoring, the BRICS’ efforts at global alternatives and China’s Belt and Road Initiative, and concerns of the world majority.
