INTS1002: The Rise of the Global Order

2025 unit information

Globalisation is one of the defining features of our contemporary world. Yet it is a process that began much earlier than is normally thought. This unit will equip students with the appropriate tools to study the cultural, political, and economic integration of the world starting in premodern times. From the early modern rise of transoceanic empires and trade corporations to the modern networks of transnational activism and international migration, this unit provides a historical perspective on how global circulation of commodities, ideas and peoples has permeated all aspects of our lives over the last five centuries.
