Course Description

In our lives, we are involved in politics and the economy every day. From the standpoint of maintaining the dualism between politics and the economy, there is a view that there is no interaction between the two, but in reality, in many cases, the interaction between the politics and the economy has been proved, It's almost impossible to do that. For example, in the welfare state, the birth was realized by politics, but the birth was caused by market failure. And while the welfare state's area of activity was centered on various income security systems, in modern times the focus has already shifted to social services.
This correspondence class first uses the teacher's subtext to learn the basic concepts and theories of the above-mentioned political-economic interrelationships from a financial perspective. Next, using designated textbooks, we will take up welfare finance and deepen our understanding of the relationship between politics and the economy from the perspective of international comparison.
In this correspondence course, you will acquire knowledge, techniques and attitudes about DP1 (Diploma Policy 1).
