| Course Description | This course aims at assessing Turkey's experiences with globalization that became a worldwide phenomenon, and the transformations Turkey experienced in this process. Different views, the negative and positive approaches will be assessed in order to understand what globalization is (or is not, or what is aspires to be). The reflections of the main topics, namely conceptualization, nation-state, economy, culture and identity, on the Turkish experience will be analyzed and discussed in parallel with theoretical discussions. In this course the students meet with basic concepts and approaches to globalization and they can interagrate thie backgrounds in political science and international relations with globalization studies. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
