Description
This subject introduces students to Political Economy and its theoretical perspectives. It examines the interaction between politics and economics in global relations from the origins of the modern world economy through to the Bretton Woods system and the emergence of the current transnational global economy. Key questions and debates on the political effects of these economic developments are addressed. In learning about global monetary and trade relations, foreign investment flows, the nature and role of multinational corporations as well as global financial institutions, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank students are better equipped to analyse such global challenges as poverty, labour migration, environment, and resource politics.
