INR/POL 350: International Political Economy

This course will cover fundamental theories of international trade and finance, with attention to globalization, equity, development, and environmental sustainability. The questions of equity and sustainability are as important as goals of efficiency or profit. What may be best for the fast movement of capital, for example, may be the worst for sustaining basic livelihoods or the environment. The field investigates how to increase the general public good, rather than private profit, viewing the two as not necessarily incompatible, but also not automatically congruent. Fulfills writing-intensive requirement.
