Political economy addresses a wide range of issues, including the network of relationships connecting state institutions and economic actors; the ways in which public policies shape economic performance and the distribution of income and economic power; the impact of public policies on the evolution of economic institutions and relationships over time; and the ways in which economic performance impinges upon governmental decision making and political stability. This course examines the American political economy. We are thus concerned with examining the above-mentioned issues to better understand how patterns of state-economy relations have changed over the course of U.S. history and the ways in which this evolutionary process has affected and reflected the development of the American state. In addition, a special emphasis will be placed on the challenges presented by economic globablization in the contemporary period.
