Course Content
This course aims to develop a critical understanding on the changes in global political economy since the 1970s. After a brief introductory discussion on state-market relationship and pre-1970 developments, the course will examine the reasons of the rise of neoliberalism, its dominance in economic policy-making, law making, and security institutions since the 1980s, and its limits and contradictions.
