Issues on sustainable development (more on environmental and social issues) can be added besides economical, political and governance aspects.

It's a very informative course, a great way to see a big picture of world issues. The only thing is that most of the data is from 2015.

Excellent Course. The first week starts with a bang but it tapers off over time.

The courseisat it's best when centered on data.

insightful and illuminating. It would be beneficial to bring the course up to date as some of the data is quite old now.

Really well done, easy to follow at home, Would be usefull to have more updated data at current year or 2019!

Very interesting course. Gave me good insights in how the world works. Highly recommended.

Good for beginners, clear and structured way of presenting concepts. Engaging teacher.

I would prefer a few readings in the weekly work load and more discussion assignments.

Me gustó mucho el curso, solo tuve problemas con algunas clases que fueron muy largas.

I would give this course 5 stars except the information is now somewhat dated.

Great overview, but regrettably the content is becoming dated (2015/16).

outdated, situation has changed a lot since the course has been provided

I like this series, but it needs updating to current conditions

Some more details in some part of the courses were expected.

good material, good teacher , good experience

It is all very well explained and very clear

Thank you for an interesting course!

Interesting and easy to follow

Great introduction course

Amazing Course!

Good course

The course offers a cursory overview of the past century or so in terms of trade, global conflict, and the balance of power. I thought the course could have been more engaging and thought provoking. I found the interruptions of the lecture with the professor's on-location videos to be jarring and disconnected to the lecture. Had he actually showed us something interesting that illuminated his point, that would have been useful. Last, there was little discussion of the implications of global trends for business. As a student, you'll have to draw the connections between global trends and the impact on business and making a better world.

While the course was fairly informative, it was clearly west-centric and tailored to learners in either the US or Europe. The data is outdated (for 2023) and analyses the "non-advanced world" through what seems to be an orientalist framework. There is an overwhelming focus on the US and EU (particularly in the session on trade blocs) but nothing on BRICS.

I liked the professer and it definely reframed some of my thinking. However, it is wildly outdated given the changes over the last 5-7 years.
