Aberrant Globalization: Connection and Divergence in the Modern Global System
February 27, 2:30pm - 4:00pmMānoa Campus, Saunders 624
Globalization is a complex phenomenon defined by non-linear patterns of human interaction that frequently and spectacularly confound our efforts to anticipate and to predict. How then do we make sense of such volatility? One answer is to build a 芒鈧揼lobal芒鈧 framework of analysis that accommodates systemic irregularities not as exceptions but rather as the norm. Change occurs within socio-cultural and political-legal contexts heavily influenced by polarities in political interests and ideologies, geographical and societal inequalities in wealth and power broadly defined, and by the many and varied 芒鈧揷omplex芒鈧 interconnections between people. Drawing substantially on the social theory of Niklas Luhmann, this paper captures a 芒鈧搉egative芒鈧 impression of globalization in its cruel and fantastic extremes to offer a new perspective for positive engagement with the vagaries of global change.
This public talk is presented by Paul Battersby, Associate Professor and Head of Global Studies at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University, Australia
