Globalization and Inequality: An Overview

2013 (Presenter Robert Darst, Associate Professor of Political Science & Director of Sustainability Studies, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth) - What do we know about the relationship between globalization and inequality, both across and within national borders? In order to set the stage for subsequent discussions of specific cases, this presentation will provide an overview of the current state of knowledge (and ignorance) about this question. This lecture was recorded at "The Quest for Global Environmental Equity in an Increasingly Inequitable World," the Elizabeth Babbott Conant & Christian A. Johnson Endeavor Foundation Conference on the Environment on April 18, 19, and 20, 2013. https://www.conncoll.edu/academics/majors-departments-programs/majors-and-minors/goodwin-niering-center-for-the-environment/conferences/the-quest-for-global-environmental-equity/
