Social förändring

This course addresses general theories of social change in modern society with a particular emphasis on theories and analyses of globalization as a process of change at both agency and structural as well as micro, meso and micro level. In particular the role of capitalism, colonialism, the nation state, nationalism and social movements in relation to globalization are reviewed and discussed. Further, the students undertake project work where they empirically investigate and analyse a social movement in relation to its globalized context.
