The Doctoral Program on Global Studies (DPGS) aims to bring together emerging research to analyze global issues, and to establish an interdisciplinary framework for thinking about globalization, both historically and in the present. Through the offer of courses and tutorials, public events, lectures, conferences and publications, the DPGS, designed in conjunction with a post-doctoral academic program, seeks to facilitate a broader understanding of global interdependencies and to develop new ways to rethink them. Under the dramatic pressure of climatic and biological changes, globalization is arguably the most important process shaping the contemporary world, as patent in the transnational movement of people, commodities, and technologies, the circulation of information and cultural patterns, social relations and dynamic networks, political and economic institutions of global governance, international war, organized crime and terrorism threatening global security. If the study of globalization demands diverse approaches and the involvement of multiple disciplinary and theoretical perspectives, it also answers a need for a more cosmopolitan education restated since the encyclopedic attempts launched by the European Enlightenment. A first guiding principle of the DPGS is to link a set of interrelated core issues with a range of disciplinary methods in order to provide a cohesive understanding of the complexities of global processes. A second guiding principle is to assess how global processes have produced different types of impact on –and generated a variety of responses from– local, national and trans-national issues. The program aims at breaking the boundaries between specialized fields or disciplines, allowing students a fuller view of the range of constraints and opportunities created by globalization. The DPGS further enhances the University’s doctoral programs by providing a forum for the exploration of global processes.
