SoSe 13: Global and Regional Transformations. Theories, Trends, Interdependencies
Manuela Boatcá
Comments
Social transformations reflect interdependent processes that take place
in various world regions simultaneously. Due to their focus on national
societies, sociologists have hitherto underestimated these
interdependencies. This has led scholars to develop new approaches able
to analyze global, transnational and transregional entanglements.
In its first part, this course will offer a comparative overview of
these new perspectives highlighting their analytical promises and
deficits. The second part is dedicated to studying global development
tendencies in order to illustrate interdependencies between different
regions.
