POL 462 Globalization and its Discontents

The benefits and harms of globalization have been unevenly distributed across the globe leading to growing inequities within and across countries. This course explores the intersection of political and economic actors, civil society organizations, social movements, and international institutions to understand the driving forces of globalization as well as its outcomes. The global neoliberal economic agenda is critically interrogated.
