Overview
This module is divided into two sections. The first will deal with the theories used to explain the GPE (mercantilism, liberalism and critical theory) and how they interact and contribute towards the changing nature of global politics. The second will look at the institutional and governmental workings of the global economic, and discuss the context and impacts such governance has had. By the end of the course students should be able to grasp the linkages between politics and economics at the global level and be able to critically evaluate key concepts such as globalisation, the relationship between states and markets, the emergence of multinational economic actors and the role and purpose of institutions such as the World Bank, International Monetary Fund and World Trade Organisation
