PIA 2310 - STATES BETWEEN MARKETS

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
Over 180 sovereign states now participate in the international economic system. The risks and opportunities that each state faces in the international economy have been shaped by the givens of geopolitics and by the decisions and conflicts that make up its economic history. Each country faces some dilemmas that are recurrent and intractable, and others that are unfamiliar and fluid. We will examine how governments have historically coped with these dilemmas, usually by trying to reconcile the expectations of foreign governments with those of domestic interests. Such reconciliation has created distinctive strategies (such as mercantilism and import-substitution industrialization) that combine policies for domestic economic development with (hopefully compatible) policies for economic exchange with other countries. We will also focus on international economic issues currently facing the governments and citizens of selected advanced industrial and developing societies.
