This subject concentrates on the way in which the global south was created through the processes and consequences of globalisation. It analyses the development of some theories of globalisation and transnationality through political, economic, social and post-colonial approaches. It discusses case studies in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East to analyse transnational systems and the degree to which national polity, economy and society have become globalised. It examines some key issues relating to globalisation: global protest, environmental justice, international feminism, international institutions, post-colonial contestations and religious identities.
