Inhalt

This course examines the politics of international economic relations. Government decision-making in areas such as trade policy, exchange rates, and financial flows is influenced not only by economic factors, but also by political processes within and among countries. Only by systematically analyzing these political processes can we understand and explain the patterns of economic exchange that we observe today and throughout history. This course is divided into three parts. The first section examines the politics of trade policy with special emphasis on the relationship between multilateralism and regionalism. The second part surveys various issues related to the monetary system and global finance. Both these sections focus primarily on the role of domestic institutions and on the implication of economic policies for developing countries. Finally, the third section investigates how multi-level governance affects the global political economy, using regional integration as leverage. How can regionalism explain the political response to the issue of intellectual property rights? Or to labour issues? How are the US and the EU managing globalization?
