Amcanion cyffredinol
This module draws on theories of social structure and social change to account for the diversity of contemporary societies in the context of globalisation. The course will introduce students to key approaches to globalisation in sociology and related disciplines with a focus on critical debates over global society, culture and economics of globalisation.
The module aims:
- to examine macro-sociological theories, such as modernity, postmodernity, network society, etc.
- to demonstrate the value of the comparative method for explaining the trajectories of social change – within the EU, East-West and North South divisions.
- to familiarise students with the analysis and interpretation of social data from a range of national and European sources, including UN, EU and national databases.
