ECN 2105C - Industrialization in its Historical & Cross-Cultural Context

Institution:

Dowling College (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

3 credits This course examines one of the most important transitions in human history - the Industrial Revolution - from an historical and cross-cultural perspective. The course begins with an examination of the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain and its technological, financial, and social preconditions. It then examines the spread of industrialization to continental Europe and how the different political systems and cultural milieus there made the continental European experience of industrialization different from the British one. The spread of the Industrial Revolution to North America then becomes the focus of the course, and the impact of the federal political system on industrialization will be examined. The course also explores industrialization in the context of a Confucian value system, as seen in the emergence of the East Asian industrial economies, one of whose distinctive characteristics is their reliance on export-led industrialization. The model of industrialization found in the former Soviet Union is also examined. Prerequisite: ECN 2101C. Offered: 2008 - 2010.
