Much of the course material was directed at undergraduates in the US. That has advantages and disadvantages. Professor Centeno was engaging and competent, so hats off to him. He set out the definitions very well, but I do wish he had more global examples instead of using American High School society to illustrate the elements of a social system and networks. The COVID section is already out of date, so that will need revision.

Probably it is brave for an academic at Princeton U. to point out that globalisation has downsides, but for me the critical analyses were too still shallow. There were many downsides of globalisation that were either mentioned in passing but not considered in depth or not mentioned at all. For example the systemic effects of the 'human enterprise' as William Rees calls it, on the ecological systems is hardly covered. Also the depth, scope and persistence of human suffering that globalisation has brought and brings is not really on the 'menu'. The horrendous effects of global industry such as exponentially increased mining, the development and employment of 300 thousand chemicals that are mostly finding their way into the atmosphere, in landfills, i fresh water in the oceans with no regulation are just a few examples. I think it would be helpful to use the nine planetary boundaries developed by the Resilience Institute in Stockholm in this course, as the discipline of earth systems science provides their foundation. Also, the crossing of the BPs is a direct result of globalisation. Why are earth system science findings not included?

Also globalisation of industrial agriculture pollutes every ecosystem it touches and ruins the lives and livellhoods of small farmers, small fisherfolk, indigenous peoples and marginalised people who live in scarifice zones. These people and the ecosystems did not get much love or attention although the 'story' of globalisation cannt be told without including structures and patterns to achieve and maintain domination to have 'cheap labour, cheap energy, cheap food and cheap resources (Jason Moore).

The interviews were very insteresting some better than others. It would have been nice of the Prof had now and then asked a follow up question with a bit of bite, instead of only softball questions but I guess he was grateful to have the interviewees agree to talk to him.

The reading list seems OK but it is a shame that the discussion questions are always about personalisation and never about the reading. Including a few short texts or excerpts and asking some good questions or setting some exercises in relation to those texts would add a lot to the learning experience. Professor Centeno's article (with colleagues) on The emergence of global systemic risk from 2015 for example could have been usedin week one or week two. I added a reading list of my own for week 6 as there was none given. If you need me to send it again let me know. In that context why not offer us a chance to upload articles for others?

All in all the prof and team did a good job for a first venture into this difficult topic and I give them a lot of credit for the effort.

A broad board/C-Suite level toll for training the eyes of the corporate body to see itself, its inter-connectivity with the immediate ecosystems supporting it, its effect on stakeholders - howsoever small and removed from direct relationships- and the effect on itself in terms of its sustainability, survivability and the capability to flourish in the face of unforeseeable and rapid changes to a stable endogenous environment. Prof.Miguel is passionate and infectiously enthusiastic about his subject - a must for every aspiring leaders and bureaucrats.

One star has been reduced for Princeton University's obdurate unwillingness to provide a simple course certificate. I noticed that most Princeton courses are approached from such merrily capitalistic approach!

A very enjoyable course. I especially liked the interviews with various experts - they were informative and entertaining and really brought the course to life. Thanks very much to Prof Miguell and team!

It was a great course. I did not like the last section unit 6 that is why I give 4 instead of 5.

Thorough and clear explanations of theoretical concepts, supported by examples

Not able to get the certificate- even though its showing completed

for me this course was very interesting and enlightening.

i cant claim or download certificate for this course

This was difficult course..

Excellent course.
