| Description: | This course provides an introduction to international political economy (IPE), the study of the interactions between politics and economics, governments, and markets. We will attempt to answer the following questions: How do political processes influence economic decision-making? What influence do national and international economic forces have on political outcomes? Specifically, we will discuss the roles of social movements, political parties, public opinion, and multinational corporations in shaping the global economy. In developing answers to these questions, we will explore major current problems and debates in the global economy from both historical and theoretical perspectives. This course has five modules: Trade, Foreign Direct Investment, International Monetary System, Foreign Aid, and Globalization & Controversies. We will also learn major international institutions governing these issue areas, including the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS), the International Monetary Fund (IMF), World Bank (WB), and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). In the end, students will learn about the formation, function, and impacts of international political economy. Students should be ready for active participation in the student-oriented learning.
