Georgetown University along with edX is going to present an online course ‘How Globalization Challenged Developed and Developing Countries.'
Students through this online course will find out who are the winners and losers of globalization, its challenge on developed and developing countries and what effective measures should be taken in order to improve its outcome.
Through this online course on globalization students will observe how the firms, workers and communities in developed and developing countries are being affected with the spread of trade, investment and technology across borders.
Students will learn who has been advantaged and who has been disadvantaged from this globalization. Some of the complex questions which will be explored in this course are:
- How can developing countries avoid the “resource curse”?
- What are some possible methods to deal with possible “sweatshop” abuses?
- How can emerging market economies take advantage of supply chains from local firms into developed country markets?
- How might globalization contribute to wage inequality in developed countries?
- Should developed countries protect or promote manufacturing jobs?
