Objectivos

This course will aim at analyzing and reflecting on the interdependencies between domestic and international economic and political dynamics in the processes of global economic integration.
This global economic integration has accelerated through the enlargement and deepening of interconnections between national economies. Because of this global economic integration, national economies have become increasingly interdependent in different markets: goods, services, people and capital. Globalization is a process. It is not a state or result.
There are three main factors accounting for this economic integration: technological possibilities, economic incentives and political choices. Students will learn how to do use a Political Economy Analysis to debate how these three factors interplay to foster and enhance global economic integration and how these economic exchanges have ultimately transformed the political, economic and social realms at a national and international level.
