PSCI 566 - Internat Political Economy

Institution:

The Citadel

Subject:

Political Science

Description:

This course examines the relationship between economic and political behavior and the various ways in which domestic and international "agents" use political processes, institutions, and regimes to influence state policies and the international environment. In doing so, it analyses why and how politics and economics interact to shape the way we live. The course contains three parts. The first focuses on the major theoretical perspectives on political economy, including mercantilism, liberalism, and Marxism. The second examines some of the major components of the modern world economy: multilateral trade, domestic trade policy, international finance, and monetary policy and exchange rates. Finally, the course investigates current issues in international political economy, such as the North-South gap, the role of multinational corporations, and the effects of globalization.
