| The course focuses on core theoretical approaches
in international political economy and their related empirical
research areas. It includes theories such as liberal,
neo-mercantilist, post-Marxist, institutionalist and
post-positivist theories, and their application to issues such as,
for example the governance of global commodity or value chains,
financial crises, climate change, the privatization of security,
and the changing role of the state and of regulation. |
