Description
In this course, students examine and consider the extent to which we are in the midst of a transition to a new global political economy, one in which rising non-Western states have increasing amounts of clout. Students consider what it has meant to develop outside of the global capitalist core historically, and whether patterns of development inherited from history have significance today. Finally, students consider the extent to which non-Western countries are building mechanisms that at the most challenge and at the least circumvent mechanisms associated with Western, if not American, aspirations to governing the global political economy since World War II.
