It addresses the reciprocal, interactive relationship between politics and economics in the international system.\u00a0 Increasingly integrated global markets present growing challenges and opportunities for political actors around the world. We will explore the effects of political factors on international economic relations as well as the impact of economic factors on domestic and international politics across a variety of issue areas in IPE.<\/p>\n<p>The course first introduces the general historical and theoretical frameworks that guide the study of IPE. It then applies these frameworks to the relations between the principal state and non-state actors in a variety of issues in IPE, including international trade, foreign investment flows, international monetary relations, economic development, currency crises, and global environmental affairs. The course concludes with a consideration of the challenges that globalization presents to the political management of national and international markets.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Prerequisites:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>EC 101 and EC 102 or their equivalents are prerequisites for this course.\u00a0 Students requesting an exception should see the instructor upon entering the class.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Requirements:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Grades will be based on 1) a series of unannounced (or \u201cpop\u201d) quizzes on the day\u2019s assigned readings, 2) a 3-4 page paper, and 3) a final exam. <strong><em>You will not do well in this class if you do not attend class and do the reading.<\/em><\/strong> You will be allowed to drop one (1) quiz score.\u00a0 The final exam will cover readings, lectures, class discussions, films and all other course requirements.\u00a0 Instructions for the paper will be handed out the first week of class, or can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sthacker\/390paper.htm\">https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/sthacker\/390paper.htm<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1>Academic integrity<\/h1>\n<p>All work for this class is expected to be individual, i.e., not the result of collaboration or a group project.\u00a0 You are not required to use outside sources for the paper, but any outside sources used must be cited properly.\u00a0 It is imperative that students understand and follow the guidelines of proper source citation.
