Governance and Globalization POL 437 (4)
Explores the ways in which globalization is affecting processes of governance. By focusing on specific issue areas such as economics, security, human rights, basic need (health and environment), it considers alterations in the role and form of states ad well as changes in relations among state, business and civil society sectors. Explores changes at the national level, but also examines the growing relevance of interactivity between the national and other levels of governance from local through international, regional and global, the enhanced role of non-state actors in formal governance procedures, and processes of "governance without government". Prerequisite: 8 upper division units in Political Science or permission of the department. Students who have taken POL 438 or 439 for credit under this title may not take this course for further credit.
