| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
This course consists of an in-depth analysis of international
trade and investment in emerging and advanced economies. It also
analyses how key factors related to trade and investment change
over time in central regional blocs, such as the European Union,
ASEAN and MERCOSUR. The course focuses in-depth on trade and
foreign direct investment. It also examines innovation, and
international financial regimes. It presents and analyses relevant
theories, concepts, data and indicators pertaining to international
trade and investment. During the course, we draw on cases and data,
in order to illustrate challenges, strategies and dilemmas from the
perspective of firms and of states, in the broader international
political environment. The course considers crises and developments
that affect ITI, such as the financial crisis of 2008, the rise of
populism, the US-China trade and technology war and the COVID-19
crisis. It also addresses current issues on the international
agenda, such as global environmental challenges and ethical issues
in investment and trade.
|
| Description of the teaching methods |
| This course employs a mix of lectures and
exercise session. Lectures will cover core concepts and theories in
international trade and investment and students participate in an
interactive discussion. Integrative cases, data and reports will be
discussed during the lectures in order to illustrate the
applicability of the concepts and theories introduced in lectures.
As part of the lectures, students will also work in smaller groups
to focus on the applicability of the theories and concepts on the
basis of data as well as cases. |
| Feedback during the teaching period |
| Students will receive feedback continuously
during the lectures on the basis of their questions. Furthermore,
the exercise classes allow for more in-depth feedback, since the
groups are smaller. The lecturers are available during office
hours, should the students want to discuss more specific issues
in-depth. |
