Description:

Recent sociological analysis has examined the world as a global system characterized by its own political and economic structure, and a system of stratification different from the nation states that divide the globe. This course seeks to introduce students to the nature of this system and discusses several issues that affect it. Also examines the belief systems that have traditionally shaped our ideas about international relationships and foreign peoples, as well as historical events that created global interdependence and inequality. Topics covered include values and ideologies shaping American perceptions of the global system, historical background of the global system, global stratification and inequalities, and value choices for building a new global system.
