After successful completion of the course, students will be able to:  - Apply International Political Economy theories to identify real-world puzzles in the context of global trade.  - Develop hypotheses that can explain questions related to trade and politics.  - Adjudicate between competing hypotheses to recommend solutions to policy problems. - Defend proposed solutions using reasoned arguments.   This course will be helpful for students who plan to continue their studies at the master’s level (e.g. international economics, development, political science). Students interested in pursuing a career in fields such as economic consultancy, public institutions, and corporate strategy will also benefit from this course.  

The course language is English. Learning activities may include preparatory readings, readiness activities before class, teacher's input, discussions and other in-class activities, small individual assignments and quizzes, peer-review of assignments, and written group work or individual assignments.

Course enrollment is on the basis of "first-come, first-served” principle. If you have registered but cannot participate in the course, please de-register via LPIS during the registration period so that your course is available to students on the waiting list. If there is a waiting list for enrollment in the course, students at the waiting list will be notified after the end of the enrollment period, and will be allocated to available places. Students will be ranked by their study progress not by their rank on the waiting list. This procedure, however, is not to be understood as a place guarantee.
