GSG 402: Theories of Socio-Political Development Economics 11. GSG 403: Global Ecology: Specialized Tracks in Culture, Communication and Demography. Similar concentrations can be built with any of the GSG tracks if the student so desires. The main objective of this course is to familiarize students with the history of world modernity from the second part of the 19th century in order to understand the complicated events of the 21st century.
From the analysis of the pre-modern reform efforts of the late 1800s, the course culminates with the fall of Communism in Europe. Antony Best, et al, International History of the Twentieth Century and Beyond (London: . Routledge, 2014); and J.A.S.

Case studies of major wars and conflicts will be examined in class so that by the end of the course students should be able to analyze contemporary conflicts through a variety of theoretical lenses. How nationalism challenged imperialism was one of the dominant themes of the 20th century, culminating in the creation of so many new states based on a dominant nationality.

Through this course, students develop a deeper understanding of the role and importance of international communication in the modern world. By first understanding the conflicting theories of regional economic integration (Balassa, neofunctionalism, supranationalism, intergovernmentalism), the course examines the development and performance of the European Union before assessing the South Asian Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) and other arrangements Bangladesh is a High Contracting Party (BIMSTEC: Bay of Bengal Initiative for multisectoral technical and economic cooperation). Based on research in development economics, development studies, political science and anthropology, the course continues to explore some of the most serious obstacles to economic and social development and assesses strategies for addressing these issues.
29 The course shifts to areas of actual/potential Bangladeshi innovation and evaluates the emergence and forms of microfinance; and, in one of the most populous Islamic countries, the role of Islamic banking against the rising and secular global growth of Islamic finance and associated poverty at the local level. Other questions to be answered: What are some reasons why Bangladesh has become a global leader in microfinance?

Students on this track have the opportunity to choose five courses from any two tracks.
The track structure will remain the same: two tracks of 200 steps, two tracks of 300 steps and one track of 400 steps. A student in this major may also choose "directed study" as a substitute for a four hundred level course upon receiving written permission from the department/school.

Central Asian Affairs,” the course addresses these, largely after the collapse of the Soviet Union, through four parts: (a) the fate of the Soviet successors in the region; (b) the growth of all kinds of illicit flows, from “terrorists” to opium; (c) the gradual, but still not irreversible, rapprochement between China and Russia, as clearly reflected in the Shanghai Cooperative Framework; and (d) Turkey's equally adamant claims to regional leadership that clash with those of China and Russia.

Latin American Affairs” studies significant but reversible transformations within key Latin countries, such as Argentina's near-inclusion in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO); Brazil's emergence as an emerging global economic power, as recognized through BRICS membership; Mexico's membership in the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development); and the rise and fall of Venezuela paralleled the rise and fall of Hugo Chávez's "Bolivarian revolution." The course pays as much attention to the region's fundamental shift from import substitution to neoliberal policy frameworks as it does to the political shift from military dictatorship to widespread democracy—at the same time as the evaporation of communist/socialist beliefs amid the growing popularity of a market economy.

Elective B: Specialized course list (Any three)
The course introduces the concept of hydrodiplomacy, identifies the international transboundary river basins and aquifers, evaluates their potential for conflict and opportunities for cooperation; trace the international legal framework for basin management; and examine the historical events associated with transboundary water use in the basin countries, their success stories and failures, with a special focus on South Asia, Southwest Asia and Southeast Asia. The course will focus in particular on the South Asian experience of communal politics and also on the discourse of the so-called 'war on terror'. While students are introduced to film history, genres, and social themes, the focus on how cultural identities and cinema influence each other directs the course toward potential governance issues: do they actually streamline, and if not, how to make the adjustment.
Ultimately, the course concludes by delving deeper into the cultural leanings of negotiations. 44 Within the country, the course examines the roles of intellectuals, civil groups and the proletariat for their contribution to political change and the constraints they face. Within the international comity, the course examines Bangladesh's participation in discussing the environment, women's liberation, human rights, child labor and so on, for example as either a leader or a follower.
The main topics of the course are: cinema as pure entertainment, cinema as food for thought, the historical dimension of film, world politics depicted in film, and liberation struggles and cinematography. Students will choose their country of inquiry and will then present regular reports on that country during the course. To this end, in addition to country case studies, the course will shed light on existing international governance, with the aim of filling missing local voids, sharpening pre-existing responses and making changes in any way possible. local-global management sustainable.
Taking the case of Bangladesh, the course examines the bottlenecks behind the treatment of non-Bangladeshis and the absorption of Rohingya refugees, compares them globally with other selected cases that students will research, and then applies them to Bangladeshi expatriates in selected other countries where they have either granted or denied citizenship. Based on these researches and observations, the course will conclude with an exploration of international remedies that can help alleviate the pains and problems of global statelessness.
