Course Description

GS221 Globalization and Cultures: Examining the "Third World" 0.5

This course examines the theories and practices that help situate the "third world" as a geographical, cultural, economic and political space. We will examine how the local and the global interlink to shape multiple cultural and political contexts. Particular emphasis will be paid to the ways in which globalization is moving us towards a "McWorld", as well as the points of resistance.

Prerequisite: GS100; or GS101 and GS102, or with permission of the co-ordinator.
