This course examines the relationship between politics and economics in modern and contemporary societies, focusing on major issues of both domestic and international policy. Adopting a strong historical perspective, it analyses the role of the government and/or power relations in allocating economic resources in different economic systems (liberal-capitalist, 社会主义, 马克思主义, 或混合), the impact of economic relations in international relations as well as the use of economic models in generating change in different societies. After a study of the different scholarly perspectives on political economy, students may also study planning and problem solving, environmental issues, resource distribution, and the challenges of institutional adaptation, and changing political systems as in the cases of Central and Eastern European countries.
