Program Description

Although globalization has contributed to a considerable rise in living standards and falling poverty over the last half-century, it has also led to the exploitation of people and nature. The reality of globalization is therefore perceived differently all over the world. Can globalization be “fixed” so that it can be fair to everyone?

In Master in Globalization, Governance and Trade (MA) you will look behind the “curtains” of globalization. You will examine the driving forces of globalization, the forms in which globalization takes shape and critically question how people’s lives are affected by globalization in very different contexts. This specialization looks at globalization not only “from above”, but also “from below”. The local material realities of globalization are just as important as the various flows of people, goods, services, information, practices, artifacts, etc., and the global governance structure.

You will learn about the opportunities and challenges of globalization from a social, economic, and entrepreneurial perspective. Furthermore, you will be able to assess different critiques of globalization and understand how different inequalities are produced and reproduced by global trade and its problematic “conditions”. You will learn to apply Critical Theory, Critical International Relations Theory, and Post- and post-colonial theory to the global trade regime.

Finally, you will analyze mechanisms, practices, institutions, and systems of global governance and their transformative potential. All in all, you will learn to analyze globalization, governance, and trade in all their complexity.

The specialization in Globalization, Governance, and Trade not only prepares you to shape the world you dream of but also complements the core modules from your chosen Master’s program in an inter- and transdisciplinary framework. Bringing together and integrating different perspectives is one of the strengths of the degree programs at Karlshochschule.

The university is state-recognized and FIBAA-accredited.
