Siyasal Konferansları - VII Prof. Dr. Berch BERBEROĞLU Professor of Sociology and Director of Graduate Studies in Sociology University of Nevada, Reno, USA Tarih : 11 Ocak 2007 Perşembe Saat : 14:00 Yer : SBF Toplantı Salonu Öğretim üye ve yardımcıları ile Yüksek Lisans ve Doktora öğrencilerinin katılım ve katkılarını bekliyoruz. In this presentation, Prof. Berberoğlu examines the nature and dynamics of globalization and outlines its economic, social, political, ideological, cultural, and environmental impact on society in the early twenty-first century. He argues that the globalization of capital and the restructuring of production by the transnational corporations on a world scale have brought about the transformation of the international division of labor. This transformation in the labor force structure of the world economy, he argues, has meant increasing unemploy-ment and outsourcing of manufacturing jobs from the advanced capitalist centers to the low-wage sweatshops of the third world where the cost of labor is lower and profits are higher for the transnational corporations that have come to dominate the global economy. He contends that the expansion of the worldwide economic power of transnationals has translated into greater political power, resulting in control and domination of the state and public policy in countries in which they operate. Such unmitigated power of global capital, Prof. Berberoğlu concludes, has serious political implications for society, including questions of war and peace, economic well-being and the quality of life, as well as democratic governance and social justice – questions that are of great concern for the future course of society and societal development in the twenty-first century. Dr. Berch Berberoğlu is Professor of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Reno, where he has been teaching and conducting research for the past 29 years. He served as chair of the sociology department for eight years, from 1993 to 2001. He received his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Oregon in 1977. Dr. Berberoğlu has published 25 books and many articles. His most recent books include Labor and Capital in the Age of Globalization (2002), Globalization of Capital and the Nation-State (2003), Nationalism and Ethnic Conflict: Class, State, and Nation in the Age of Globalization (2004) and Globalization and Change: The Transformation of Global Capitalism (2005). His areas of specialization include political economy, globalization, third world development, political sociology, nationalism/ethno-national conflict, and comparative-historical sociology. His latest book, The State and Revolution in the Twentieth Century: Major Social Transformations of Our Time, will be published by Rowman and Littlefield in late January 2007.
