23 April - World Book and Copyright Day
23 April - World Book and Copyright Day
23 April is a symbolic date for world literature for on this date in 1616, Cervantes, Shakespeare and Inca Garcilaso
de la Vega all died. It is also the date of birth or death of other prominent authors such as Maurice
Druon, Haldor K.Laxness, Vladimir Nabokov, Josep Pla and Manuel Mejia Vallejo.
It was a natural choice for UNESCO's General Conference, held in Paris in 1995, to pay a world-wide tribute to books
and authors on this date, encouraging everyone, and in particular young people, to discover the pleasure of reading.

Globalization -
Course pack and syllabi*
Globalization is a
framework for describing many affiliated worldwide developments.
Globalization isn't simply more of the ongoing process of
internationalization: it describes the increasing ease with which
technologies, people, goods, services and capital move across borders. But
the term is also widely used to convey such elements as universalization and
changes to sovereignty. While many embrace it, others fear it. The readings
in this course pack focus on the many facets of globalization.
