Course content
Economic globalization processes cannot only be observed for the most recent decades; rather they occurred also in earlier periods. This course provides advanced insights about globalization and de-globalization during the last hundred years, i.e. covering the period between the outbreak of World War I and today. It will especially try to answer the following questions: How did economic globalization develop and what different periods can be observed during the period examined? What are the specific characteristics of these periods? Which factors caused globalization and de-globalization? Which conditions favored or hampered its development? What effects did globalization and de-globalization have in different respects? And what repercussions, in turn, did these effects have on the further development of globalization? We will further explore, based on country case studies, why the economic effects of globalization and the reactions to globalization differed among different countries.
