Summary

This course is subject to validation

If you are interested in the impact of key political figures like Donald Trump or Elon Musk on the global political layout, or keen to discuss the decline of the Western-led world-order or trade wars with China, then this is the course for you. MA Globalisation and Development Studies is one of three new MA pathways designed by the Social Sciences MA team at Liverpool Hope. This highly relevant and up-to-date MA course traces the root causes of global stratification in relation to the development of economies in the Global North at the expense of those in the Global South, particularly former colonies. The course utilises theories and marginalised voices from the Global South to analyse actions of states, state alliances and international organisations in the context of inequalities and a growing awareness of the need for social change. Analysing globalisation as a system of exploitation will allow the students to engage with the topics of global dependencies, free trade zones, trafficking, modern slavery, sweatshops and feminization of poverty in the Global South, including the impact of fast fashion on climate change.  Participation in this course will facilitate access to international careers or careers in international NGOs, local authorities, UN or EU development focused organisations or charities, including leadership positions and close links with a variety of industries
