Introduction to Globalization

Mary Love

This course examines the historical, economic, political, and technological causes of and processes associated with globalization. Using Costa Rica as their primary case study, this course allows students: to explore the economic outcomes of globalization as they relate to global poverty, inequality, labor standards, and environmental protection; to examine globalization’s effects on national sovereignty and the global spread of democracy; to explore the simultaneous processes of cultural hybridization and cultural convergence as a result of globalization; and to understand the reasons why some have chosen to resist the process of globalization, either through social movements and other forms of political engagement.

Students will work in teams of 3-4 to research, write, and produce audio podcasts on a topic relating to globalization in the Costa Rican context.
