This course will look at the processes of industrialization and economic development and the relation of these processes to the present state of global economic interconnectedness. The course will examine how these processes affect the allocation and distribution of economic opportunities, benefits, risks, etc., looking especially at their impact on access to, and utilization of, energy, water, food, science, modern technology, and communication systems. The course will examine the inter-relationship between these economic and environmental changes and the changing character of local, national, and global political and civil institutions. While examining these larger themes, the course will be organized around a series of case studies, for which students will be called upon to analyze and develop practical responses. [Note: Offered at Stratford campus.] Prereq: Level at least 3A Global Business and Digital Arts students
