Description
Much scholarship and popular thinking on the Global Political Economy (GPE) frequently holds that it is something abstract and in the distance or operating on some level that we call the global. In this class, we interrogate such dispositions by considering how large scale structures of the GPE (possibly including, but not limited to, trade, finance, production and migration) and how particular localities, including Winnipeg, neighbourhoods, households, and various daily sites are "implicated in the global". What parts of our daily lives are affected by the GPE? What is our relationship with the GPE? How do we think of political and economic agency in a purportedly global age?
