The interdisciplinary course Globalization and sustainable development consists of a series of lectures by experts on contemporary topics concerning the relations between the global north and the global south and with particular attention for development. In the framework of global relations, these topics cover contemporary social phenomena in the global south and the respective challenges to sustainable development in a variety of domains (e.g. education, law, international politics, health, agriculture, economics and management, etc.). It exposes students to a plurality of perspectives on local and societal challenges at a time of unprecedented globalization. The course aims to provide a broader and deeper understanding of contemporary global issues and to develop students critical abilities with respect to other cultures.
