Globalising Societies

This is a challenging course of study organized around intense experiences and expert instruction. Seemingly abstract concepts and institutions such as the European Union, NATO, peacekeeping missions, war crimes, genocide, international justice, peace, development and cooperation, will come to life as essential, if imperfect global instruments of great consequence. You will examine first hand, the key features of a contemporary societies at considering the impact of local, national and global forces, and consider how social change at the local level is affected by global processes and ideas. You will critically examine individual and collective social identities, with a focus on how current and historical practices have created enduring social structures.
