SOC 2150 - Globl Dev and Inequality

Institution:

Yeshiva University

Subject:

Sociology

Description:

This course first examines development in the first three decades of the post World War II era. We look next at Soviet style communism as a failed attempt to create an alternative to this development project, and then at East Asisa as a regional aberration within it. We examine Mexico and post colonial southern Africa as regional variations of development. We complete the course by examining the shift from development to globalization in the last quarter century, the mounting ecological challenge to globalization early in the twenty-first century, and the specter of terrism and finacial distress in the politics of globalization.
