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.

very interesting course, it has stirred my interest in the topics covered and i think I'll do some more research / study of the area and related stuff
Exposed me to complexities of interconnected systems if overlooked can have devastating impact on our very existence
A gret intro to Global Systemic Risk. I got a lot out of the course and would enjoy more on the matter. It also hasspurred me to do more research into the mathematics of systems for my own work.
the professor was great and the teaching was excellent. I'm just sad I don't get a certificate for it.
