| Term: Fall Semester 2026 |
| Description: The course offers a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between politics and the global economy. Examining key political and economic theories and institutions that facilitated globalization's evolution, we delve into the reasons behind the rise of economic isolationism, placing a particular emphasis on contemporary geopolitical stress points. After focusing on theoretical assessments and methodological approaches, we will learn how to measure globalization process from the perspective of various subjects (states, institutions, corporations) and flows (of capital, goods, information, people) and end with current issues and debates surrounding "globalization backlash," based on political, economic and social dimensions of globalization. |
