This course offers an introduction to some of the most important historical, cultural and sociopolitical factors, trends, ideas that are reshaping today's world.

Globalization is the central force that presides over the restructuring of today's world. However, the apparent making of a world culture dominated by a single political, military and economic power (the United States) is corrected by the emergence and consolidation of regional integration systems (such as the European Union), the rebirth of nationalism and cultural values, and the resistance of fundamental traditional and new ideologies to fade away.

With the purpose explaining this complex contemporary world scene, this course has the European Union as a central point of reference and comparison, especially in the regional context of the Americas, with the creation of MERCOSUR and NAFTA. The evolution of contemporary ideologies, the development of nationalism and the endemic European wars are then considered as three of the pivotal aspects that led to the generation of the European Union, the most successful of the regional integration organizations, a remedy to lessen the competition among states.

The course is then complemented by a consideration of the factors that generate clashes between cultures (most especially between the United States and the rest of the world in the era of globalization) and the search for a renewed national identity, and supranational cultural linkages, as exemplified by the Ibero-American community.

Finally, the course will offer an analysis of the current experiments in regional integration in the Americas (most especially MERCOSUR, NAFTA and the Free Trade Area of the Americas), as reflection or competition for the EU's model, with or without the participation of the United States.

Requisites:

(1) Weekly creative analysis in the form of short papers open to discussion and participation. These will be based on suggested scholarly sources and/or the content of presentations.

(2) A major paper developing a selected issue, or a global/comprehensive examination, or both.
