F1616 Global Governance for Peace and Security, Cooperation and Development (Global Challenges core)

Shinohara Hatsue

The terms ‘globalization’ and ‘global governance’ have been part of our daily discourse for a while now, signifying that some new phenomena have been unfolding in the world. This course explores questions and issues concerning the new development. Do we live in an age of globalization and global governance? What is globalization? Is globalization something completely new and different from past experience? What do we mean by global governance even though we do not have a world government that maintains central authority in a hierarchical way? Accordingly, in this class we focus on the dimensions of global governance in security, peace and development.
 
Learning Outcome:
Students can learn to grasp multi-dimensional facets of global governance by discussing its agents, means and concrete issues. Ultimately this course addresses the question of if and how the ‘governance of the world’ we live in has been and is maintained and pursued in order to secure the stability and progress of our lives.
