Section Information for Spring 2016
In this course, we will explore the sweeping historical changes that created today’s world ending with the current but fairly recent ascent of "the West." We will survey major features of the principal civilizations of the world and the major types of global contacts, as they were originally formed and as they have been more recently altered during the past three centuries by the "forces of modernity." We will try to define what the major traditional features of each civilization were, and how those cultures persisted and changed as the "modern world" evolved. This course will specifically trace key processes shaping and reshaping the politics, cultures, and economies of various societies throughout the world. The chief goals of this course involve the following: the ability to assess change over time on a global level; the capacity to compare different societies; and the understanding of the emergence and impact of global processes throughout the past millennium.
