Global Studies: Cultures and Organizations in International Relations
Posted 2 years ago by Grenoble Ecole de Management
Examine whether global cooperation is possible despite cultural differences
We live in a wonderfully diverse world, but with difference often comes conflict. Is global cooperation between humans possible despite their cultural, institutional, and environmental differences? Do ideological confrontations endanger international cooperation?
Find out with this four-week course exploring organisations and cultures across the globe. Evaluate beliefs about the “clash of civilisations†and examine whether our world really is becoming more liberal.
Ce cours peut être entièrement suivi en français. Des traductions françaises sont disponibles, les discussions se déroulant sur un forum francophone.
Découvrir comment et jusqu’à quel point les différences culturelles, institutionnelles, et environnementales peuvent être surmontées pour aboutir à un monde plus collaboratif.
Discover levers and shortfalls in intercultural negotiations
Good negotiation relies on finding a middle ground, but is that possible when cultures are so varied? Our globalised world relies on us finding ways to improve our cross-cultural communication and build bridges.
Discover how we have done this, and where attempts fell short. You’ll consider conflicting ideologies, cultural distinctions, and how modernity and tradition continue to influence these talks.
Review international relations from 1925 to 2025
We live in a different world to 1925 – discover how we have progressed and formed strong international unions since then. You’ll then apply your new knowledge to look at the future, and consider what our challenges will be, and how we may overcome them.
