Course outline: This course aims to give students a firm grounding in international economy from a geopolitical viewpoint. Students who take this course are required to study various aspects of real international economy, such as trade, energy, finance and industry, through the prism of issues including regional and global power balances, alliances, and religious and ethnic conflict. By reading the prepared texts and through debate, participants are expected to foster their own points of view with regard to international economy in an era of uncertainty.
Participants will seek to understand the conflicts of interest many states face with others, as well as how governments and private organizations strive to resolve problems. In so doing, students who join this course will gain the ability to present arguments and the skills required for success in an international environment.
Students are expected to put the material they have learned into discussion. During the autumn term, students are expected to express their own opinions based on the knowledge gained during the spring term.
Printed texts and articles are distributed during each class. Students will read and comment on articles. “Us vs.Them: THE FAILURE OF BLOBALISM” by Ian Bremmer, Portfolio/Penguin, is recommended as supplementary reading.
