International Political Economy International Relations & Business Program Fall 2018 Semester - San Jose

In this "Global Economic Policy" course, students integrate the skills acquired in the economic area of their career in a creative manner, applied to a variety of factors that constitute current international economics, in its different dimensions: national, regional, and international. Using the report logbook on global economic topics, as well as the case studies presented before a panel of peers, students study, analyze, and discuss, both in and out of class, critical areas of contemporary international economic policy, applying concepts to cases and phenomena that model international reality. Furthermore, by producing an opinion article, they develop their argumentative and critical abilities, while they assess the pertinence of their peers' analysis, and even dissenting with them and the professor, while offering alternate and relevant approaches. This course is foundational for shaping professionals in international relations, since it enables the student to develop analysis and research skills, in order to provide consulting to individuals, organizations, corporations, and governments, regarding the evolution, current relevance, and perspectives of global economic policy, with the purpose of promoting stability and developing international economic relations.
