Students will encounter concerns about the nature of the global economy; the relationship between political, economic and social change; the interaction between the world and domestic economies; and the conflict between states, markets and societies. Students will also explore the nature of power in the international political economy, how it is wielded, by whom, and to what ends. On completion of the subject students should show a capacity for an advanced level of analysis, and an awareness of the latest research directions, in international political economy. |
