The Many Faces of Globalization (Autumn Semester)*

Globalization is one of the most contested concepts of the last decade. What does it mean to live in a “global” world? What are the implications of international flows for politics, culture and social structures? The set of courses, offered by prominent sociologists, political scientists and communication scholars, addresses these questions (and others) through two perspectives: globalization processes from a bird’s-eye view and globalization as expressed at the Israeli “receiving end.” The cluster thus combines a highly engaging and relevant topic with a focus on its intersection with the Israeli context – a unique “lab” for exploring globalization. The courses will provide students with both theoretical foundations and hands-on experiences of negotiating and finding solutions to globalization-oriented problems.

*The courses in the cluster are MA level courses, open to advanced BA students.
