3- India and China. Tradition and modernity in the age of globalisation.

Date: Monday 10 to Friday 14 September 2007
Venue: Fundación Tres Culturas

Organised by: Fundación Tres Culturas and UNIA (International University of Andalusia).

For more information, please visit the homepage of the UNIA  and look under "summer courses".

The Three Cultures Foundation collaborates with the International University of Andalusia UNIA in the organisation of the summer course "India and China. Tradition and Modernity in the Age of Globalisation. This course will focus on a political, economic, social and cultural analysis of these new actors from within in order to understand their external aspirations in a globalised world. The 21st century has been defined as the century of China but also as the century of the end of the single empire in which the United States would cease to dominate all areas of globalisation. However, the end of US unilateralism may have come to an end sooner than expected due to the emergence of two great civilisations: China and India, which are transforming the international scene at breakneck speed. Consequently, we will examine their internal transformation through their millennia-long history within the framework of globalisation, and also in a changing world where cooperation and competition between states will determine the new international order. A new order that inevitably involves Beijing and Delhi.
