Globalization is processes that have histories and many of these histories are tied to global networks. During the first section of the course we will read and discuss key aspects of network theory as an innovative tool to analyze a variety of aspects of globalization processes. During section 2, we will discuss specific networks such as the United Nations, missionaries, computers, migration, terrorist, and ODA networks and in section 3, the students will finalize research papers where they choose specific global networks for investigation.
