Globalization Studies

Featuring Prof. Manfred B. Steger

209 Students already enrolled

Globalization has become the buzzword of our time. But what does it mean? Rather than forcing a complicated social phenomenon into a single analytical framework, this course seeks to present globalization as a multidimensional process constituted by complex, often contradictory interactions of global, regional, and local aspects of social life. Since conventional disciplinary borders and lines of demarcation are losing their old rationales in a globalizing world, in this course we apply an interdisciplinary framework to the study of globalization.

The course features the University of Hawaii at Manoa's Professor of Political Science and Globalization, Manfred B. Steger, whose work on Globalization has appeared in more than 300 libraries across the world. The course aims to support subject-specific inquiries into the dynamics and effects of contemporary globalization and its varying impacts across, between, and within societies.

We shall covers subjects such as: market globalism; academic debate over globalization; imperial globalism; justice globalism; national populism,jihadist globalism; and the future prospect of globalization. You will learn with videos and textbooks.

1. Globalization involves:

A stretching of social, political, and economic activities across political frontiers.
growing magnitude of interconnectedness in almost every sphere of social existence.
An accelerating pace of global interactions and processes associated with a deepening enmeshment of the local and the global.
All of the answer options given are correct

2. In the first wave, the age of discovery (1450-1850), globalization:

Was a benign form of cosmopolitan democracy.
as equally experienced across the world and amongst different social groups.
as decisively shaped by European expansion and conquest.
Saw the establishment of the international Convention on the Elimination of Child Labour.

3. The second wave (1850-1945):

Defined a new age in world history so today the microchip and the satellite are icons of a globalized world order.
Evidenced a major expansion in the spread and entrenchment of European empires.
Saw the expansion of transnational and international law from trade to human rights.
Saw the establishment of the international Convention on the Elimination of Child Labour.

4. Asymmetrical globalization is:

The way in which contemporary globalization is equally experienced across the world and amongst different social groups.
The way in which contemporary globalization is unequally experienced across the world and amongst different social groups.
The degree to which networks or patterns of social interaction are formally constituted as organizations with specific purposes.
A process in which the organization of social activities is increasingly less constrained by geographical proximity and national territorial boundaries.

5. Sceptical accounts of globalization dismiss its significance because they argue:

By comparison with the period 1870 to 1914 the world is less globalized economically, politically, and culturally.
The vast bulk of international economic and political activity is concentrated within the group of OECD states.
lobalization is at best a self-serving myth or ideology which reinforces Western and particularly US hegemony in world politics.
All of the answer options given are correct.

6. State autonomy is challenged in the 'post-Westphalian' order because:

Countries appear as autonomous containers of political, social, and economic activity in that fixed borders separate the domestic sphere from the world outside.
By comparison with the heyday of European global empires the majority of the world population and countries in the South are now much less integrated into the global system.
In a more interdependent world, national governments are forced to engage in extensive multilateral collaboration and cooperation simply to achieve domestic objectives
State power, nationalism, and territorial boundaries are of growing, not less, importance in world politics.

7. The international Convention on the Elimination of Child Labour:

Was a result of countries appearing as autonomous containers of political, social, and economic activity in that fixed borders separate the domestic sphere from the world outside.
Represents a process in which the organization of social activities is increasingly less constrained by geographical proximity and national territorial boundaries.
Involves a complex mix of homogenization and increased heterogeneity given the global diffusion of popular culture, global media corporations, and communications networks.
as the product of a complex politics involving public and private actors from trade unions, industrial associations, humanitarian groups, governments, and legal experts.

8. The 'Post-Westphalian Order' is characterized by:

The sovereign power and authority of national government-the entitlement of states to rule within their own territorial space-being transformed but not necessarily eroded.
A real dilemma: in return for more effective public policy and meeting their citizens' demands, whether in relation to the drugs trade or employment, their capacity for self-governance-that is state autonomy-is compromised.
The emergence of a new geography of political organization and political power, which transcends territories and borders.
All of the answer options given are correct.

9.The disaggregated state:

s the complex that brings together the representatives of governments, international organizations, NGOs, and the corporate sector for the formulation and implementation of global public policy.
Is the formal and informal mechanism which links government officials in one agency with their foreign counterparts for purposes of policy coordination, harmonization, dialogue, and enforcement.
Is the tendency for states to become increasingly fragmented actors in global politics as every part of the government machine becomes entangled with its foreign counterparts and others in dealing with global issues through proliferating transgovernmental and global policy networks.
Is the rightful entitlement to exclusive, unqualified, and supreme rule within a delimited territory.

10. Time-space compression is:

Capitalism's insatiable requirement for new markets and profits, which lead inevitably to the globalization of economic activity.
A shared ecology involving shared environmental problems, from global warming to species protection, alongside the creation of multilateral responses and regimes of global environmental governance.
Central to any account of globalization since it is a truism that without modern communications infrastructures, in particular, a global system or worldwide economy would not be possible
The technologically induced erosion of distance and time, giving the appearance of a world that is, in communication terms, shrinking.
