BA Global Studies in Development Health and the Environment

Global Studies is the academic study of globalization, the processes and interactions that have converted the world into a single interdependent whole. This perspective is holistic not just because it is interdisciplinary, but because it challenges the national frame upon which traditional academic disciplines have been built. That traditional framework is focused on national economies, politics and societies, and globalization is seen as merely the creation of more bridges between them. In Global Studies, the starting point is not any national entity but the processes and interactions that have integrated human life on a global scale.
