Abstract: Seminar provides an overview of international political economy with specific reference to the advanced industrial societies. Integrates international and comparative perspectives and fuses microeconomic and institutionalist approaches. Compares and contrasts the role of states in regulating intergroup conflicts over domestic markets with the role of regimes in regulating interstate conflicts over international markets. Examines the rise and decline of economic powers, industrial policy and trade relations, financial and monetary politics, and economic integration. This graduate class is designed as a PhD-level overview of international political economy (IPE), with an emphasis on the advanced industrial countries. The syllabus is divided into three sections: international trade; international monetary and financial relations (including foreign direct investment); and security.
