Document Summary
One world: historical and cultural perspectives of globalization. This course explores the social and cultural interactions of the peoples of the world from pre-history to the 21st century with the main emphasis placed on the period between 1500 and the present. From pre-history onwards, people roamed the globe and interacted with each other, socially, politically, and culturally. Sometimes these interactions were the results of conquests, times of trade, yet other times the product of vast migrations over long distances. Since the 15th century, european expansion has been predominant, which produced, by the mid-20th century, the current pattern of globalization. Patterns of world history (combined volume second edition) by peter von sivers, charles a. Notes: all information in this course outline is tentative and subject to change.
