| Outline and Purpose of the Course | This course will examine the foundations of various trends in international political economics and international relations. The modern international community is in search of new solutions to the varying political issues we face in the complex scenarios in which international politics and the international economy meet. In these circumstances, all eyes turn to the discipline known as "international political economics"?a three-pronged approach that tackles the challenges of the international community from the perspectives of theory, history, and policy, integrating the viewpoints of international politics and international economics. Students will learn various theories of international relations based on theories of collective behavior and global public goods with an emphasis on international economic relations. | |||
| Course Goals | Students should learn various theories of international relations and gain the ability to analyze the international economy, politics, and society from the perspectives of these theories. | |||
