Understand and have a say in the challenges that globalisation presents us. From the sustainability of economic growth to the eradication of poverty, you’ll identify the impact of globalisation on the world around us.
We will help you achieve an understanding of diverse issues such as the changing nature of international competition, trade, migration and global governance. You will learn the basis of modern political economy and explore global consumption as an engine of growth. You will debate the current financial crisis, discussing how it began, the definition of crisis and how the world has responded.
You will gain an understanding of how international political economy differs from economics. As well as measuring economic growth you will also understand its distribution of costs and benefits together with its social, political and environmental impact.
This is an opportunity for you to embrace and interrogate aspects of politics, sociology, history, philosophy and geography in relation to economic globalisation.
