Course Contents/Objectives/Teaching Method/Intended Learning Outcome

Students will be introduced to the key issues and debates in the economics of globalisation. While the benefits of economic globalisation are generally accepted in the public debate, the process is known to create some new challenges for consumers, firms, governments and international organisations. In this course, we will look at both opportunities and challenges, created by globalisation. Concepts and models from international economics will be blended with historical analysis to provide an overview of:
(i) the unfolding process of globalisation over the long-term
(ii) the economic and political economy factors underlying that evolution.
We also cover the specific (country) case studies with the impact of globalisation on issues such as poverty, income inequality and the environment. We take the inter-disciplinary analytical framework, drawing not only in in economics but also political science, and business strategy to illustrate a multi-faceted feature of ongoing globalisation.
