The Politics of International Economic Relations, Part II
CSS 426 SP

This sequence in the junior tutorial covers some of the major issues in international political economy today: trade, direct foreign investment, monetary relations, underdevelopment, environmental relations, and globalization. International economic relations will be studied in light of domestic and international political forces. Political economy constructs will be subject to both critical analysis of descriptive assumptions and behavioral postulates as well as testing against empirical data and historical case studies.
