Course Title:
Globalization: Threats and Opportunities
Course Description:
Designed to help students understand the complex forces shaping the emerging global business environment. The rapid globalization of markets and production is transforming business, creating new market opportunities and new threats. But, as the impact of globalization spreads throughout regions, countries, and industries, a backlash is growing in the form of protests, protectionism, and criticism of multinational business. Will globalization deepen the divide between winners and losers, or will it result in greater benefits to all? How should these globalization processes be regulated or governed? The course explores the function and future of governance institutions such as the World Trade Organization and the International Monetary Fund, various attempts at regulating foreign direct investment and international capital flows, and controversies over foreign outsourcing. Also explores criticisms of globalization.
