---|---|
The world economic system is now highly integrated, as reflected in the increased cross-border flows of capital and goods in the activity if institutions like World trade Organisation. In such a world, domestic political and economic dynamics have global implications, while international events also have far-reaching effects domestically. This course serves as a basic introduction to the scientific study of International Political Economy (IPE), an interdisciplinary field that focuses on the interplay between economics and politics. The underlying theme in the study of IPE is that economics and politics are intrinsically linked, that economic choices and preferences affect political decisions and vice-versa. With that fundamental understanding, we begin our course by examining the theoretical approaches for analyzing the relationship between economics and politics. In the rest of the course, we enlist these different approaches to address a variety of topics and issues related to IPE, from the internationalization of production to the challenges of financial liberalization, international development, the effects of globalization and the transformation of the state.
