| Syllabus: | The global movement of peoples resulting in cultural and economic exchange, and also domination, has an extremely long history; however, contemporary understandings about globalisation often focus on the gradual increase in international political and economic organisation since 1970s, alongside developments in communications technology, and the impact of changes brought about by the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s. This unit introduces a sociology of globalisation, exploring some of the cultural, political and economic elements of social organisation in the globalising world, and critically examining the ways that experiences and understandings of globalisation may differ according to social and cultural context. Key topics include: theories about globalisation; political and economic organisation in a globalising world; cultural and migration flows; diversity and social inequality; and the impact of globalisation on work, community and the environment. |
