Courses
- International Political Economy
The course provides students with knowledge of and insight into political economy as a way of thinking and the substantive debates concerning the mutual interaction of economic dynamics and patterns of governance, including those pertaining to the relationship between various types of political behavior (e.g. voting, lobbying, protesting, media campaign, party politics) and economic change (e.g. globalization, (financial) market integration, labor market integration through migration, economic development). Students should thus emerge from the course with a sound understanding of how political economy developed as the integrated way of understanding society that we recognize as the contemporary field today.
