Faglig innhold

This course explores globalization from a historical perspective, with focus on European overseas expansion and colonization. It focuses on the trans-continental processes (connections, interactions and networks) that bound various parts of the globe together from the 19th Century to the present. The geographical focus is, though not exclusively, the Atlantic and Indian Ocean arenas: Africa, America, Asia, and Europe. Themes include dynamics of dominance and resistance; colonialism and decolonization; colonial decentralization (emergence of India as a peripheral metropole in the Indian Ocean Arena); processes of socio-cultural cross-fertilization; trans-national economic and social formations through oceanic trade and migration; and Colonialism and international law. Concepts like globalization, empire, imperialism, colonialism, decolonization, the Atlantic World; and Indian Ocean Arena will be interrogated.
