Recent events triggered by the pandemic COVID-19 have once again highlighted the potential and limits of the division of labor in global affairs. Chains of production and commerce allow for economical processes and higher profits for international companies but fail to account for ecological costs. While institutions of global cooperation such as the WHO clash with national interests and nationalistic impulses, states and supranational entities like the EU realize that they have lost key elements of sovereignty in the supply of essential goods like medicine or technology.
This course explains the historical development of the global division of labor and other forms of the human agency since early modernity, yet mostly focussing on the acceleration of this process in the Twentieth Century. We will scrutinize both the conceptual backgrounds (liberalism, socialism, internationalism) and key examples (chains of production and commerce; flows of capital; approaches to global governance; transnational social networks). Our aim is to provide students with an understanding of how these global structures of the present have come to exist and which alternative paths were part of this history.
Weekly teaching units on a specific topic are held in the lecture hall and available through streaming.Preliminary Schedule
