课程名称：全球系统性风险 课程概述：本课程探讨全球化的定义及运作机制，旨在帮助学生全面理解全球化过程及其相互关联的世界部分。在“没有人掌控”的世界中，我们生活的风险有哪些？课程介绍了系统思维、网络理论和风险分析的工具，以帮助学生更好地理解全球化的过程。通过聚焦贸易、金融和流行病学，分析当前全球秩序面临的潜在挑战。 该课程对学习全球事务、系统动态和世界治理的学生特别有吸引力，提供了一套分析当代全球挑战的启发性工具。将《阿比路》专辑的录制与COVID-19疫情的案例连接起来，为我们眼前看似混乱的世界提供了新的洞察。 复杂系统是我们日益互联互通的社会的基础。过去更为本地化的经济、供应链和社会生态系统如今正在快速全球化，跨越无数空间和时间尺度进行互动，随着技术的加速发展，这些紧密耦合的系统虽然提供了更大的效率和繁荣，但也带来了更大的脆弱性和灾难性失败的威胁。这种“全球系统性风险”在不同功能领域中都产生了影响，从全球金融体系到医疗保健，再到关键基础设施网络。 课程安排为7-10分钟的课时，按模块组织，核心课程呈现为初级水平的线性结构，并可能有可选的分支内容，提供对特定技术领域的更深入了解。 课程大纲： - 第1周：引言，什么是全球化，关于全球化的辩论 - 本周将定义和分析全球化的概念，介绍其起源、好处和成本。 - 第2周：系统与网络 - 学习系统分析的概念及其在复杂世界中的洞察。 - 第3周：风险与全球系统性风险 - 本周末将使学生更好地识别当代世界中的风险来源，并整合全球化、系统、网络和风险的概念。 - 第4周：贸易与金融 - 讨论金钱和贸易如何驱动世界，同时指出该系统的脆弱性。 - 第5周：COVID-19与治理 - 从全球系统性风险的角度分析COVID-19，并讨论治理全球系统的挑战。 - 第6周：崩溃 - 最后单元讨论最糟的结果是什么。
Name:Week 1: Introduction, What is Globalization, Debating Globalization
Description:Welcome to Week 1 in which we define and analyze what we mean by globalization. In these lectures, you will be introduced to the origins, benefits, and costs of globalization.
Name:Week 2: Systems and Networks
Description:In Week 2, we learn about the concept of systems analysis and the insights it provides into a complex world.
Name:Week 3: Risk and GSR
Description:Welcome to Week 3! At the end of this week, you will be better able to identify the sources of risk in our contemporary world and to integrate the concepts of globalization, systems, networks, and risk.
Name:Week 4: Trade and Finance
Description:Money and trade make the world go round, but the system is fragile.
Name:Week 5: COVID-19 and Governance
Description:In Week 5, we analyze COVID-19 through a GSR lens and discuss the challenge of governing a global system.
Name:Week 6: Collapse
Description:In this last unit, we finish with a discussion of what the worst that could happen is.
What is globalization and how does it work? How can we understand the process as a whole? How are the parts of the world linked? What are the risks of living in a world where “no one is in charge”? This course introduces students to systems thinking, network theory, and risk analysis and uses these tools to better understand the process of globalization. Focusing on trade, finance, and epidemiology, it analyzes potential challenges to the current global order. The course will be of interest to those studying global affairs, system dynamics, and world governance. It offers a set of heuristics that students can use to analyze contemporary global challenges. Linking the recording of Abbey Road to the COVID-19 pandemic provides new insights into the apparently chaotic world around us. Complex systems form the backbone of our increasingly interconnected and interdependent society. What were once more localized economies, supply chains, and social-ecological systems are now rapidly globalizing, and interacting with one another across countless spatial and temporal scales as technologies expand at ever greater velocities. These tightly coupled systems deliver greater efficiency and prosperity, but at the cost of greater fragility and the threat of catastrophic failure. This “global systemic risk” has implications in all functional domains affecting our daily lives—from the global financial system to healthcare, to critical infrastructure networks. Organized with 7-10 minute classes grouped together into longer modules, the course will have a linear “core” curriculum presented at the introductory level, with the potential for optional offshoots that give learners a more in-depth look into certain areas with more technical content.
