This subject is designed to engage with a body of material emerging in debates around globalisation, transnationalism, world trade and local and international strategies of contestation and protest. The subject aims to put the contemporary analysis of globalisation in an historical perspective by looking at pre-colonial trade, for example in the Indian Ocean. It then aims to link developments in the world economy with political changes to do with the sovereignty of the nation-state, struggles for decolonisation, new forms of democracy, the development of new (global) technologies, the response of NGOs and even individual subjectivity through questions of identity, transnational allegiances and recognition of diverse forms of 'being'.
