Globalization Glossary Guidelines
At the beginning of this course we will be covering a vast amount of vocabulary dealing with globalization, including: theoretical, economic, and philosophical terms. Some of you may be familiar with some or all of the words; others of you will find most or all of these words new.
In an effort to make sure we are all on the same page and are using a shared definition for these basic terms, we will be generating a course glossary. Each student is responsible for TWO words which s/he will post as a comment to THIS course blog entry titled “Globalization Glossary.”
