Structural influences from beyond the boundaries of the state now constrain, mitigate, shape, or determine the policy process in many key issue areas. These structural influences are invariably called ‘globalization’.
The aim of this course is
- to understand, define, and explain globalization and regionalization be it in its economic, political, socio-cultural, and historical guises;
- to identify the range of potential policy implications that stem from the various understandings of globalization;
- to understand what kinds of constraints globalization imposes on the potential for independent policy initiative;
- to look at the role of 'non-traditional actors' in the policy process outside the borders of the sovereign state. Special attention will be given here to inter-governmental international institutions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
Course participants will be advanced doctoral and post-doctoral candidates as well as policy professionals working with international NGOs, international organizations, government agencies, etc. The course leaders are internationally recognized academics all of whom have policy experience and have published books on globalization issues.
