This degree integrates different disciplinary perspectives to analyse the key debates on the economics, political, social and environmental dimensions of globalisation: Is globalisation leading to increasing international inequality and poverty or does the expansion of international trade in goods and services provide new opportunities for development countries? How can we make sense of emergent trends such as fair trade, social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility and sustainable consumption? Does globalisation call for a radical overhaul of existing international, national and local institutions? Why is it so difficult to solve global environmental problems such as climate change? We will consider not only the process of globalisation but also the counter-tendencies and resistance to globalisation and how these are played out in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
The MA Globalisation, Business and Sustainable Development degree integrates different disciplinary perspectives to analyse the key debates on the economic, political, social and environmental dimensions of globalisation. Postgraduate students with an interest in global issues will be provided with the tools to critically analyse the process of globalisation and its impact on international development. The process of globalisation is central to an understanding of the contemporary world. The nature of the process and its implications for international development are hotly debated: Is globalisation leading to increasing international inequality and poverty or does the expansion of international trade in goods and services provide new opportunities for developing countries? How can we make sense of emergent trends such as fair trade, social entrepreneurship, corporate social responsibility and sustainable consumption? What is the changing role of the state, the private sector, cities and civil society in delivering public goods in an increasingly interconnected world? Does globalisation call for a radical overhaul of existing international, national and local institutions? Why is it so difficult to solve global environmental problems such as climate change? This Masters will consider not only the process of globalisation but also the countertendencies and resistance to globalisation and how these are played out in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
A group of International Development Researchers at UEA are working on global environmental justice, linking in with questions of biodiversity conservation, climate change, ecosystem management, forestry, disaster risks and water.

Student Testimonial “As an international businessman and former politician, I recommend this Masters as an alternative to a top ten MBA. It provides an excellent understanding of the major changes in world development in the post 2008 business paradigm.” Tony, MA Globalisation and International Development
Whilst the University will make every effort to offer the modules listed, changes may sometimes be made arising from the annual monitoring, review and update of modules and regular (five-yearly) review of course programmes. Where this activity leads to significant (but not minor) changes to programmes and their constituent modules, there will normally be prior consultation of students and others. It is also possible that the University may not be able to offer a module for reasons outside of its control, such as the illness of a member of staff or sabbatical leave. In some cases optional modules can have limited places available and so you may be asked to make additional module choices in the event you do not gain a place on your first choice. Where this is the case, the University will endeavour to inform students.
