Cíle předmětu

This class introduces students to the basics of comparative political economy. Political economy studies the mutual influences of politics and economics - how does politics affect the economy and how does the economy affect politics. The field covers many of the most fundamental questions in political science such as: Why are some countries rich and others are poor? Why do some countries distribute income equally while others are highly unequal? And why have some countries adapted to globalization while others have not?
