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 globalisation conditions the strategies, motivations and actions of institutional actors (especially parties), as well as citizens’ attitudes to politics and their electoral behaviours. We will also study the impacts of globalization on non- electoral actors (social movements and interest groups), focusing on how these organizations leverage digital communication environments to sustain themselves and exert political influence. Finally, this course’s empirical focus will range from Western European and North America to developing countries.
