Superpower Grand Strategies and Globalization
This course is part of Product Management in Climate & Demographic Shifts.
This comprehensive course analyzes how three major forces - climate change, demographic aging, and the rise of a global middle class - are transforming the world economy from an East-West to a North-South paradigm. Through a grand strategy approach, students explore how these structural changes affect international trade, geopolitical competition, and global markets. The course examines how superpowers compete for economic and political allegiance from vulnerable nation-states, particularly in the context of climate-driven migrations and demographic transitions. Special attention is given to the Western Hemisphere's unique advantages and the emergence of new forms of international competition in the cyber realm.
