Course description
This course critically examines the organization of the international (and global) political economy, considering its significance for everyday lived experiences. We will examine how distinctive aspects of globalization shape the global political economy and the challenges it engenders for development. We will engage with theories and methods in the study of international (global) political economy as well as examine key issues. The course adopts a critical approach and will be guided among other aspects, by questions about inequalities and injustices in the global political economy of development. Our approach will link the global and the local, addressing, for example, poverty and social exclusion as well as ecological sustainability.
