this new class and the class is still open. If you think your majors
might be interested (particularly economics, sloan, urban studies,
STS, and history but it looks like a great class for any undergraduate
at MIT) please pass it along.</font></blockquote>

color="#000000">This class examines the politics of international
economic relations. Government decision making in areas such as
trade policy, exchange rates, and financial flows are influenced not
only by economic factors, but also by political processes within and
among countries. This course begins with a discussion of the
analytical "lenses" through which we can view the global
economy. It then examines the politics of trade policy, the
internationalization of production (i.e., multinational corporations),
international monetary and financial relations, third-world
development and communist transition; and the debate over
"globalization." Along the way, we will discuss some
"hot-button" issues in the global economy: the fight against
terrorist financing and money laundering; the proper role of
international financial institutions (including the IMF); and the
impact of the global economy on the ability of governments to make
policy within their own borders.</font></blockquote>
