| The term globalisation began to gain currency in the 1980s and became increasingly associated with various other processes ranging from modernisation and standardisation to concentration and mobility. Globalisation, however, tends to be studied as primarily an economic and technological process, sidelining its social, cultural, political, and ecological aspects. The course gives its audiences a broad, interdisciplinary introduction to key debates about globalisation as they have emerged since 1989. It analyses the complex ensemble of processes and discourses that operate under the term globalisation. The lecture starts with understanding definitions of globalization. It then proceeds with studying how globalisation has embedded in trade, finance, and position of labour in the world economy. The course ends with casting some light on the current debates around crisis of globalization and/or retreat from globalization. The course will also pay close attention to the ideas of Marxists, Post-Colonial critics, and Right-Wing populists in connection with their criticism directed at globalisation. |
