| Course Description | This course consists of three parts. In the first part, we will begin with a critical analysis of the main theoretical approaches, namely, liberalism, mercantilism, and structuralism. These approaches, in the second part, will provide an analytical framework to evaluate the nature and the effects of global economic structures such as trade, production, finance and knowledge. Lastly, we will examine some of the recent key issues at the global level that are associated with the above structures such as income inequality, limits on development, migration and ecological concerns. |
