In this course, we will approach the study of globalization from the joint perspectives of economics and political science. First, we will address how both disciplines have defined and framed globalization. We will specifically discuss how objective features (e.g. trade expansion, foreign investments, migration) may be combined with actors’ constructed perceptions of globalization. Second, we will investigate the outcomes of globalization both at the macro and individual level. We will analyse how globalization has altered national governments’ decision-making, with a comparative focus on different policy sectors (e.g. welfare states and economic policy-making), as well as citizens’ attitudes to politics and their electoral behaviours. We will also study the impacts of globalization on ethnic conflicts and inequalities across social groups and gender. Third, this course’s empirical focus will range from Western European and North America to developing countries.
