This course develops, integrates, and applies the theoretical insights of political science and economics to contemporary issues of international trade, finance, and security. The course is organized into two blocks. The theoretical concepts introduced in the first block build upon the ideas introduced in SS307, International Relations, and SS201, Economics. The second block consists of a series of in-depth applications of the material learned in the first two blocks to specific questions of contemporary international political economy like regional economic integration (NAFTA, EC), Third World Debt, protectionism, and the link between security and economics.
