Friedman While the State exists, there can be no freedom When there is freedom there will be no State ~ Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, "State and Revolution", 1919 Course Description and Objective The focus of this course is the state, society and economy in the context of globalization Therefore, the major themes of the course relate directly to international studies In order to understand transformations taking place in the world today, we need to explore the social, political and economic underpinnings of the past Today’s paradigms were created in relation to specific events in the past, and now fuel current events At the beginning of the 20st century, there was a modern and bureaucratic state in Europe, which emerged as a consequence of the industrialization of the late 18th century The 18th and 19th century’s patterns of industrialization then fueled domestic migration and the migration of rural populations to the big cities, which led to mass urbanization @ Copyright Tugrul Keskin 2013 Fall 2013 – Monday and Wednesday 14:00-15:50 Portland State University The modern city was then born under a capitalist economic order, and this has created a more secular-oriented and disciplined individual This new individual is the product of the modern city and consumes more, works more, is more educated than his or her predecessor, and is less interested in community or religion In this context, the state becomes the center of political debate, and the life of the “modern” and secular individual is regulated by the state for the sake of modern economic conditions This is what Neoliberalism today looks like During and after the industrialization process, the emergence of the nation-state led to the formation of nationalism and national identities, as we know them today This was also a product of the domestic market, and was used in order to develop and expand capitalist interests The decline of religious identities has thus been replaced with an increase in national identities According to Karl Marx, the state and nationalism were necessary mechanisms of exploitation, used to protect the interests of the bourgeoisie – or upper classes Nationalism became a new ‘religion’ or collective consciousness At the time of the 20th century economic revolution, we witnessed rapid social changes, such as women’s participation in the workforce, an increase in education across all sectors of the population, popular use of visual and print media, and the emergence of the nuclear family, among numerous other trends Changes such as this led to a flourishing multi-party system democracy However, the new economic system was also the engine of these changes and has continued to reproduce itself for the sake of the free market economy Today, capitalism has moved to a new stage in its development in the second part of the twentieth century, which can be characterized by the dehumanization of the social and political system The political system of the nation-state changed, because old style bureaucratic structures created obstacles for the new free market economy Therefore, the role of the nation-state has since weakened and this has led to the formation and predominance of powerful corporations In this course, we will observe, analyze, and understand the consequences of this transformation within a comparative perspective Every concept and phenomenon will be explored within the discipline of International Studies As an introduction to the discipline, the purpose of the course is to develop a foundational knowledge of international studies, enhanced analytical skills, and to develop a terminology that is @ Copyright Tugrul Keskin 2013 Fall 2013 – Monday and Wednesday 14:00-15:50 Portland State University relevant to a broad
