Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the interconnectivity of the global economic order and explain the process of shaping the world economy into its current systemic form. The students will also acquire the ability to compare key economic factors across different economies. In addition to a systemic approach, students will be introduced to the comparative method of world economics. By combining knowledge of key historical contexts and practicing knowledge of current economic events, students will learn to analyse contemporary and future trends in the world economy.
