MTVInternational. Islam. Yao. The UN. Global warming. Terrorism. McDonald's. Almost every aspect of human existence has been touched in some way by the dynamic of globalization. The historical and continuing integration of peoples, cultures, markets and nations, globalization may become the defining characteristic of the 21st Century. It has been a Janus-like force of two faces, with advantages and disadvantages, surfeit and suffering. In this emphatically interdisciplinary course, the foundation class for the Global Studies major and intended for freshmen and sophomores, students will be introduced to a variety of historical, critical and analytical perspectives, methods and vocabularies for continued study of globalization and social change.

This course surveys major events in the history of the modern world in the 19th and 20th centuries, with special attention to the processes of global integration, networks of exchange, and power relations across space and time. The course proposes a critical historical perspective on current debates around "globalization" byexamining the creation of the modern world economic system, models of state building and state interaction, and varied paths and responses to political and cultural modernity. Rather than a "pre-history of globalization,"the course approaches global processes as continuous and ongoing phenomena that take on a special character during the 19th and 20th centuries. Topics include: the first and second Industrial Revolutions and creation of global financial markets; Nation-building and New Imperialism in Europe, Japan and the United States, and responses to Empire among colonial peoples; World Wars I and II and the Great Depression as global historical events; Postwar decolonization, the Cold War and the emergence of "North-South" relations; the impact ofconsumerism in tradition-bound societies; the movement for women's rights in global perspective; the return of ethnic nationalism and rise of religious fundamentalist movements in the post-Cold War world.

This course closely examines the complex relationship between culture and globalization. The impact of globalization on local culture is an essential topic. But the interaction of globalization and culture is not a one-way process. People around the world adapt globalization to their own uses, merging global cultural flows with local practices in transformative ways. The course will study the interaction of local culture with globalizing forces; immigration and culture; the localizing of mass culture; cultures of diasporic and migratory groups, and globalization, gender and identity. Staff. (SS)
