Why this matters

In this course, you'll explore the “post-Western world”, which marks a new era of geopolitics and business as Asia, Africa and Latin America increase their influence on the global stage. This latest wave of globalisation brings with it a host of opportunities and challenges that will shape organisational development in the future.

What you'll learn

This course will help you:

Understand the historical forces and events that have shaped our world and the drivers of globalisation which impede our efforts toward creating a more sustainable future

Understand how businesses and politics are changing as we transition into the post-Western world, and what this means for you and your organisation

Explore the reasons for tension in different spheres of life and parts of the planet, given the emergence of a new world order
