POS 438 - International Political Economy

Credits: 3

This course will aim to develop a fundamental understanding of the theory and structure of international political economy as well as investigate concrete issues and actors in the world. In an increasingly globalized world it is essential to understand the political and economic relationships between and amongst nations. In an effort to make sense of a complexly interconnected world where weather patterns in the global south impact commodity prices in the north or agriculture subsidies in one country hurt farmers in another far away, it is necessary to examine a variety of assumptions and theories that might explain the relationships between many varied factors. This course is cross-listed as INT 438.
