In this class we will read about perspectives on international political economy, theoretical propositions derived from these perspectives, and examine key issues that are pertinent to IPE. Among these issues, we will pay special attention to globalization, politics of international monetary and trade relations, foreign investment, economic reform policies, cooperation and conflict among the industrialized countries, the North-South divide, and current global financial crises. Attendance is mandatory. Students who miss more than four class meetings without legitimate excuse will be dropped from the course. We will have a sitting chart so that I can get to know you by name.

An act of academic dishonesty (e.g., cheating, plagiarism, and unauthorized possession of examinations) will automatically result in a grade of F for the affected assignment and the case will be referred to university authorities.
