Course description
Rethinking international relations on the view of globalization is very important. For example, we reflect on the diverse problems―“Neo-liberalism and Democracy”, “the recomposition of governance theory”, “the new problems of globalization study”, “the Global-South(the globalized developing countries) and the rethinking of democracy”, and “the search for global democracy” etc.... We will consider the global problems by “the hegemony theory” with understanding of the globalized world age.
Expected Learning
The modern international relations suffered the grand change by the globalization. Today, people question “what are the Nation-State and neo-liberal globalization”. On the other hand, the formation of social-political hegemony and global civil society are required. We will reflect on the theory and method of globalization.
