Semester: SEM2

Contact: Dr Matteo Mandarini

Can "business success"" be thought to require a specific political form, such as liberal democracy? Do `free markets' lead to `free societies'? Does globalisation demand opening up markets and political systems? Do political pluralism, consumer choice and firm competition go arm-in-arm? What does the expansion of one-party China tell a different story? The Gulf states? Is the consumer sovereign when their desires are mined and sold to advertisers? Where should we turn to grasp the complex forces mining the present?"
