Issues in Globalization

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

The objective of this Course is to study some of the most controversial issues that have arisen over the last decade, - due to freer world trade, the spread of multinational corporations, and the internationalization of financial capital. The professor will present a set of topics in class in a lecture format. There will be a take-home Mid-Term Exam on those topics. During the last third of the Course, the students will (a) first present in class a topic for a short six-to-eight page term paper; (b) then give an oral presentation on the final draft of that paper; and (c) submit the paper by the last class, or by a deadline set by the professor. This course is open to SFS-Qatar students only.
