IDS paper -- 2
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
IDS 401
Paper 3
Due: Sunday Nov 6th at 11:59pm.
Essay Question:
Over the last few years as a result of the pandemic, the gridlock of global supply chains and labor crises, and the war in Ukraine there is a consensus emerging that globalization is essentially ending.
One such argument is presented here in “Globalization is over. The Global Culture War Has Begun” by David Brooks. In this essay he suggests that the predictions of globalization—that essentially the world would all come to embrace the secular, financially driven, liberal, democratic values—is a misapprehension and a worldview that is falling apart.
For this paper I’d like you to read this essay and then put it “in conversation” with what we’ve read this semester. For example:
What have we read in class that seems to follow the “modernization theory” as Brooks describes it?
What does Brooks say in support of his idea that globalization is ending?
If Brooks is right, what that we read this semester would be wrong? Put differently do Brooks ideas in this essay invalidate any of the things we’ve read about globalization over the semester?
What do YOU think of what Brooks is saying, as someone who has spent almost a semester reading about globalization?
Length/requirements: minimum 1,200 words, citations, proofread, error free prose.
