Globalization (Video streams)

Commanding heights is a six hour documentary based on the book by the same title.
You can watch the full documentary online (in short clips), and, get more in-depth information for several countries, covering economic and geopolitical issues.

Very insightful points of view and cases, for anyone interested in globalization.
