M5 Discussion #1 – "Modern globalization in its imperial guise?"

M5 Discussion #1 – “Modern globalization in its imperial guise?”

Discussion
A. G. Hopkins and several other historians in Globalization in World History, reflect on the continuing issues that surround globalization. Central to their discourse is globalization as both a Western and non-Western construct with historical roots that span close to three centuries.

In this discussion area, we are going to center in on A. G. Hopkins’ superb comparative analysis of Bali and Labrador with regard to imperialism and globalization. He notes in Chapter Ten, Globalization with and without Empires: From Bali to Labrador, that “The two have never been joined for purposes of historical inquiry.” Why not? Discuss the reasoning behind his choice of the Balinese and the Innu. How were they affected by “modern globalization in its imperial guise?” Consideration needs to be given to the role of identity, myth, social engineering, and postcolonial globalization. And, does the story of the Balinese and Innu continue?
