Description

This course provides a theoretically grounded introduction to the evolution of a global economy. It pays particular attention to examining the drivers, dimensions and dynamics of economic globalisation, and to analysing the implications of this complex process for the distribution of wealth and power in the international system. The course contributes to an enhanced understanding of the relationship between the political and economic spheres of social life, and of why this understanding is important.
