Předpoklady
The course provides students with an overview of how economic instruments may be utilized for the promotion of peace. Starting at economic diplomacy, the focus of the course is narrowed down to economic incentives and punishments utilized to foster, build, or coerce peaceful resolutions of disputes and crises. The course represents coercive solutions as a continuum in which diplomacy sits at one end, and military force on the other. Within this continuum the course builds comprehension of the middle ground, where economic instruments are capable of supplementing both sides of the spectrum, and offers students a much deeper understanding of leverage and incentive utilization in international relations. Students will be able to actively participate in the presentations and discussions of key learning cases.
