Globalisation

Coordinator: Stefano Schiavo

This seminar series explores globalisation and the connections that link people, businesses, institutions and countries through trade, cooperation and economic interdependence.

Drawing on economics, history and politics, the seminars examine how global integration has evolved over time and the forces that drive or constrain it. They consider its benefits and challenges, alongside the role of international institutions and agreements in governing this process. Particular attention is given to how businesses and individuals shape global economic relations through exchange, collaboration and competition.

Topics include the role of businesses in global value chains, as well as the relationship between globalisation, poverty and inequality.
