Детальний опис англійською:
Across Europe, the economic, political, social and cultural spheres are undergoing unrestrained globalisation, and within each of these spheres it leads to varied consequences. Developing economies, circulation of goods, services, information and knowledge, diversity, transnational political networks, global social movements, and global civil society – these are only a few examples of the positive effects of globalisation brought by its supporters. On the other hand, globalisation presents a number of challenges such as fiscal austerity, liberalizing capital markets, increasing social inequalities both between the global North and global South and within countries, loss of cultural uniqueness, and human rights violations.
The composite reality of a globalised economy, politics, and culture also has effects on the democracy and the concept of power although there is little consensus what these effects are.
This complex relation between globalisation, democracy and power will be discussed during the summer school. These key concepts will be analysed through the prism of politics, economy and culture:
- How can “democracy” be built and sustained in Europe?
- Are we witnessing the rise of newly emerging powers?
- How do we join the global power structures?
- How do we exert power in a global context?
- What is the role of Europe in new power relations?
