Globalization and Governance
Choose one seminar question (ie. not all of them) from each of these three weeks. Write a 500 word seminar paper that answers and critically analyses the issues and perspectives around the question for each week chosen. Your paper should be based on information contained in the weekly required reading but you may choose to consult additional sources (eg. recommended reading, readings from other weeks, or other sources). 1. Problems in the global commons are a symptom of globalisation and as such require global solutions. Do you agree? 2. Why is global agreement between nation states in matters of the global commons difficult to achieve? 3. As global environmental problems such as climate change become a crisis, will they promote greater global governance or undermine it ie. what are the chances of overcoming environmental gridlock? 4. Can you see any parallels with the current COVID-19 pandemic?
