Globalisation is a
controversial topic. What remains uncontroversial, in contrast, is the
importance of this topic, not just for political education. Basic
political questions concerning democracy, legitimisation, or the
relationship to the economy also affect the very heart of the globalisation
debate.
The increasingly important question of the role of communication in the
public sphere can be clearly entered into using this topic as an example. As
a relatively new, yet ubiquitous catch phrase, globalisation is being
instrumentalised in terms of various interests. Recognising these processes
provides benefits that go far beyond a better understanding of the
discussion concerning globalisation.
Ultimately, dealing with globalisation concerns the current debate on the
central questions of the future which challenge politics and education.

The
topic of globalisation dealt with in all its facets on D@dalos makes a variety
of attempts at a definition (Basic
Course 1),
emphasises
the multi-dimensionality of the processes involved listed under Globalisation as
a generic term (Basic Course 2),
investigates
the essential causes (Basic
Course 3),
and the
resulting problems (Basic
Course 4), and
finally
deals with strategies for solutions sketched out in the debate (Basic
Course 5).
We have
provided a
summary
in the form of a illustrated
overview on this Main Subject Group, as well as a written
Table of Contents
with
direct links to the individual pages and sections for orientation purposes, and
as a navigational guide. Besides there is a section
with suggestions how to start a teaching unit about globalisation (first
steps).
