International Political Economy
This course examines the politics of global economic relations, focusing principally on the advanced industrial states.

The course exposes students to both classic and contemporary thinking on free trade and protectionism, exchange rates and monetary systems, foreign direct investment and capital movements, regional integration, and the role of international institutions like the WTO. Readings will be drawn mainly from political science, as well as law and economics. (PSCI 0109 or PSCI 0201) 3 hrs. lect./disc.
