This course offers a broad introduction to the contemporary global political economy, emphasizing the inherent and inseparable intertwining of politics and economics, power and wealth, the state and the market. The core of the course is made up of analyses of global trade, global finance, natural resources, and migration, with special attention to subjects such as trade wars, energy transitions, and border walls. Four class debates will focus general concepts on a specific contemporary topic. We conclude the course with a look toward the future of global capitalism and of the liberal world order.
