本課程以全球化(Globalization)形成的歷史為經緯，來探討近代世界發展所要面對的各種社會與政治問題，全球化的肇端是起於大航海時代，台灣是在此時被納入在世界的體系之內，荷蘭東印度公司治理台灣，其背景是在資本主義的醞釀過程中大航海的投資家、銀行體系與股票市場的建立一連串交互作用的結果。世界在全球化的過程中被壓縮了起來，1830年代中南美洲的獨立運動造成了世界的銀荒，誘發了中國的太平天國之亂、西班牙大流感到現今新冠的疫情更是全球性的流動……怎樣從歷史的角度理解當今世界的形成，是本課程的首要方式；其次，法蘭西斯福山（Francis Fukuyama）曾說：「歷史已經終結」這是從發展方向上認為自由民主制將成為人類後續政體的主要模式。工業革命對生產與勞動制度的影響，法國大革命揭櫫的自由、平等、博愛的精神，是奠基在中產階級的鼓吹與參與；從民族國家的形成到殖民主義的昂揚，各種世界發展的主要格局逐漸形成；第三、以歐洲為中心的世界觀，挾科學文明對於世界其他區域造成各種衝擊，文明與文化價值的裂變與重組、再造成為歷史的主旋律。我們要怎樣看待這些過去?又有什麼樣的結構持續影響到現在?從長時段、大歷史的角度去觀照世界上現今仍然要面對的諸多議題，將會讓學生有更寬廣的國際視野和對未來世界更多不同脈絡的省思。This course uses the history of globalization as its latitude and longitude to explore various social and political issues faced by the development of the modern world. The beginning of globalization began in the Age of Discovery, and Taiwan was included in the world at this time. Within the system, the Dutch East India Company governed Taiwan. Its background was the result of a series of interactions between the investors of the great voyage, the establishment of the banking system and the stock market during the brewing process of capitalism. The world has been compressed in the process of globalization. The independence movements in Central and South America in the 1830s caused the world's silver shortage, triggered the Taiping Rebellion in China, the Spanish Flu, and the current COVID-19 epidemic, which are global flows... How to understand the formation of today's world from a historical perspective is the primary approach of this course; secondly, Francis Fukuyama once said: "History has ended." This is from the perspective of development, believing that liberal democracy will become the subsequent political system of mankind. main mode. The impact of the Industrial Revolution on production and labor systems, the spirit of freedom, equality, and fraternity proclaimed by the French Revolution were based on the advocacy and participation of the middle class; from the formation of nation-states to the rise of colonialism, the main patterns of world development Gradually taking shape; third, the Euro-centered worldview has brought various impacts to other regions of the world with the help of scientific civilization. The fission, reorganization, and reconstruction of civilization and cultural values have become the main theme of history. How do we view these pasts? What structures continue to influence the present? Looking at the many issues that the world still faces today from a long-term, big historical perspective will give students a broader international perspective and Reflections on more different contexts of the future world.
