Description	In recent years globalisation has attracted the attention of policy-makers and academics alike. In this course, participants will critically review and evaluate these developments. Students will unpack this substantial literature to assess: The extent (if any) of the qualitative break that `globalisation? marks with the past The distinct and often contradictory processes that interact to produce the effects referred to as `globalisation? The degree to which the parameters of the politically and economically possible have been reconfigured by such processes The possibilities for local, national, regional and global governance in this context
Learning Outcomes	By the end of the module students should be able to: Understand and critically reflect upon the qualitative break that `globalisation? marks with the past Analyse different ways of defining and conceptualising `globalisation’ Assess critically the parameters of economic and political factors within globalisation Situate theoretically and empirically the different facets of globalisation within their local, national, regional and global governance contexts
