GLOBALIZATION, RESEARCH AND INNOVATION

The word globalization has become one of the most commonly used in the social sciences. To what extent is this simply a fad or a new economic, political and social phenomenon? Taking up the research carried out by IRPPS scholars in recent years, the Research Line addresses three different aspects of globalization: in economics, technology and politics. Economic globalization has overwhelmingly invaded daily life. The new information technologies are probably the factor that allowed and facilitated globalization in the other economic, social and cultural dimensions. What are the innovations that will enable economic development to be triggered? To what extent is globalization also changing political life? Are international organizations today able to govern the processes of change? Particular attention will be paid to the possibility of achieving a democratization of globalization through the reform of international organizations.
