Globalisation 2008

• Product Code: UGI150

Globalisation is nothing new. It began with the Industrial Revolution, was boosted by the expansion of the British Empire, and only paused for the duration of the long European and World War which started in 1914 and ended in 1945.

That war triggered the creation of a string of international institutions, from the UN to the EU, designed to bring some reason and humanity into the political and commercial harshness of early globalisation. In the ten years this subject has been looked at, technology has shrunk the world dramatically, Much has changed, but much has not.

Topics Covered;
- The Shrinking Planet
- Global Economics
- Community and Conflict
- Sharing Sovereignty
- Common Human Concerns
- The Media, the Internet and the World Wide Web
- Converging or Diverging?
