V53.0775: International
Political Economy
(Undergraduate)
This course seeks to provide an
introductory overview of the history, current status, and likely prospects of
the IPE. During this term we will focus on contending theoretical approaches to
understanding and explaining a variety of events in the IPE, for example,
British mercantilism in the 1700's, NAFTA, EU-US trade disputes, the WTO, and
the North-South development gap. I hope to supply the theoretical groundwork so
that you can follow current news debates about these issues, know what is at
stake for whom, and have some idea what kind of policies are more or less
likely. (Fall 2003)
