COURSE DEFINITION	The globalization process, which has been an inevitable phenomenon in today's world, introduces many changes and transformations. One of the most significant changes is the fact that inequality increases globally. Neoliberal capitalist globalization has resulted in increasing inequalities at global, regional and local levels. The objective of this course is to study the inequality phenomenon that emerges in different levels and analyze the different dimensions of inequality. On the other hand, the alternative globalization models which may enable the minimization of inequality will also be discussed within the scope of the course.
