General Description:
This unit aims to provide a theoretical and empirical perspective of the globalisation of exchanges. In addition to supplying the principle keys for understanding the reasons behind the growing integration of countries into a global environment, it also explains why this insertion is always subject to apprehension, and subsequently to legitimate questioning, stemming from workers, consumers and producers, and in more general terms from the citizens and the public authorities which depend on it.
Basically the aim is not to deliver a general theory which would presuppose that globalisation is something which is straightforward or linear, but to subject to concrete analysis the most common explanations to be found in this respect, and hence to open up a debate on the virtues and defects of the phenomenon.
