International Political Econ

Catalog description

This course is an introduction to international political economy, the study of how and why international economic policies are formed, and how the international economy influences domestic politics and economic performance. Course will include a significant amount of economic theory. We will examine the development of the international political-economic order since the 18th century and simultaneously compare 'lessons from history' to present-day issues. This course corresponds with POLECON 201 at Duke Kunshan University. Graduate students enrolled in this course are required to complete additional readings and assignments as determined by the instructor.
