You will analyse the following topic doing your own investigation on the past, present and future of Global Resilience:
“Optimists argue that our world is nowadays less challenged from war, plagues and the fear of nuclear mass destruction. We have eliminated risks and we are building a technologically advanced and resilient society. Is this true? Is Global Resilience affected by other concerns that undermine the global economic and social stability? Are we going to experience more or different Global Crises and how well are we prepared to handle them?”
