全球化理論
台北大學社會系碩士班
2009 年 2 月
時間:周二下午 2:10-5:00
教室:1F20
教師: 蔡明璋
全球化是一個非常複雜的概念，所包含的研究議題千羅萬象。本課程試著就社會
學角度來介紹全球化研究的現況。課程分為三部分: 1)Globalization As, 這部分討
論全球化的本質，從不同的社會理論的角度來觀察什麼是全球化。2)Globalization
And, 這部分的重點是探究全球化與相關社會現象的關係，例如階級、發展、網
絡、文化與性別等。3)反全球化，社會學在什麼立場上反對全球化的走向?我們
探討一些可能的出發點，例如從「血汗工廠」與從「反帝國主義」的立場。
全球化的中文書籍出版非常多，請自行閱讀。例如:Paul Hirst and Grahame
Thompson, ＜全球化迷思＞；Zygmunt Bauman, ＜全球化-對人類的深遠影響
＞；David Held 等的＜全球化大轉變＞（太多了）。
