winter semester 2021/2022 | Last update: 02.07.2021 | Place course on memo listKnowledge of Global History and the methods of interpreting it
The term globalization has been a buzzword that has been used for some time and is becoming more and more important. Initially it was mainly related to the economic area and concerned the global interweaving of trade and capital relationships, but in the last few decades it has gained immensely in importance in the social sciences. This goes hand in hand with the complex dimensions of globalization. Today this includes economic, political, ecological, social and cultural dimensions. Transnational corporations generate profits worldwide, in international politics the number of multilateral agreements and international organizations is increasing steadily and ecological factors, such as climate change, are a global phenomenon. Overall, territorial borders are becoming increasingly less important, and the world is growing ever closer together on a social and cultural level, due to modern transport and passenger traffic as well as access to mass media such as television and the Internet.
Using the example of leisure and sport, phenomena of globalization are presented and questioned.
