Discussion Monday, March 8 during class You will need access to our paper during the in-class discussion. One of the themes of this class is Globalization. • Globalization is a transplanetary process or set of processes. • It involves the increasing integration of nation-states through technology, communication, contact, economics (trade), and ideas. • An intensification of global connectedness and a consciousness of that intensification. • A web of connections that are increasingly thick--think about how hard it would be to disconnect from the world. • A breakdown in the distinctions between international and domestic politics.
