POLS 323 - Comparative Political Development
What does it mean for a society to be “modernized” or “developed”? To become westernized in values and practices? Adopting capitalism, industrialization and trade? More consumption and higher living standards? Can we all be modernized? Can the earth support the globalization of Western consumption patterns? Is our abundance predicated on others’ want and poverty? Or are there more egalitarian paths to economic abundance and political stability. In this course, we will grapple with these questions and others, searching for novel solutions.
