講義概要
／Course description |
This course aims at providing an introductory overview of the international political economy (IPE). In the era of economic globalization, all economic issues have some international dimension. Unlike the management of the domestic economies, however, there is no supranational authority that can effectively coordinate and regulate the world economy. How have countries (and other entities) dealt with international economic problems?
In order to understand the challenges facing the economic and political players, the course explores the history of, and the current issues in, the IPE, and introduces contending approaches to analyze them. Topics include: trade liberalization and protectionism, international investments, management of global finance, regionalism, and economic development. Emphasis is placed particularly on the implications of the global financial crisis since 2008.
While the course is primarily based on lectures, students will also engage in some types of in-class activities, such as presentations, designed to deepen their understanding of the subjects. |
