This contextualisation course is linked to the seminar ‘Of Merchants, Mercenaries, and (Enslaved) Labourers: The Emergence of Global Work Migration in the Early Modern Period’. Both courses are designed to be complementary in terms of content. This course provides an introduction to and discussion of some classical theories of globalisation processes in the early modern period. The course is open to participants of the Master’s programme ‘World Studies’ and will therefore in all probability be offered in English.
