Аннотация

In the 21st century, we are witnessing a previously unattainable interdependence between people, states, and corporations. Moreover, the 21st century brings an extraordinary involvement of individuals and corporations in the evolution of global processes. Despite the rapid development in the first decade of the century globalization stumbles on a variety of issues and challenges that should be addressed. This course will examine several key economic and political concepts that accompany globalization processes and determine the future development of humankind. By using those crucial concepts, we will examine several specific contemporary challenges that humanity faces in the 21st century and inquire about possible impacts on Asia. A set of international and region-specific cases will be analyzed in this course. Within this course we will try to answer the following questions: What are globalization definitions? What are alternatives to globalization? Good governance, is it possible or not? Does global governance operate in terms of fulfillment of sustainable development goals declared by the UN? How does globalization impact the energy policy of countries and corporations? What is the global answer to cyber-security issues and threats? How do individuals and corporations affect global governance? Does climate change determine the globalization process? How does globalization intertwine with the growing issue of inequality and class clash? How should be cultural heritage treated in the context of globalization?
