>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.

>Contact David  Singer 258-9372, dasinger at mit.edu or just come to 
>class on Tuesday.
