Understand and analyze characteristics of global business, government policies and inter-state relations with their effects on individuals, societies and environments III. Distinguish and implement deductive reasoning to elucidate fundamental principles, and inductive analysis to understand the role of institutions and historical conditions on selected systems IV. Recognize economic features of markets as well as political outcomes of states and societies that derive global political economy V. Understand important structures and forces that lead to conceivable resistance or change in global relations |
| The course will particularly focus on contemporary structure of IPE and bring hot issues to discussion. Students are expected to gain the intellectual material to fully conceive and interpret the addressed issues and problems at local, regional and global levels of analyses. The course has a multi-disciplinary perspective, which is based on intermediary notions of political science and economics, transcending a variety of issues. Both deductive reasoning (as economists often do, to elucidate fundamental principles that characterize economic relations) as well as inductive analysis (as political scientists broadly refer, to understand the role of institutions and historical conditions on selected systems) will be adopted. The economic features of markets along with political outcomes of states and societies will be intertwined to bring out the forces that lead to effects on global relations. |
