The course begins with empire, colonialism, and decolonization as formative forces in shaping the modern world and examines how global structures organize inequality, mobility, and power. Students engage with classic and contemporary scholarship on topics such as economic globalization, global production systems, migration, social movements, and the circulation of ideas, norms, and culture. Emphasizing both theory and method, the course equips students to analyze how global processes are constituted, contested, and lived in diverse contexts.

It focuses on the construction and the implementation of law, not necessarily what the written law is. This course covers the theory and practice of legal and political institutions in performing several major functions at the local, national, and transnational levels, such as: allocating authority, enabling social control, defining relationships, resolving conflict, adapting to social change, and fostering social solidarity. In examining these functions, the course will assess the nature and limits of law, consider alternative perspectives on law, and discuss various ways to structure legal processes.
