Obiettivi formativi
The course has two main objectives. First, it aims at introducing students to the contemporary study of international political economy (IPE), by providing them with the conceptual and analytical tools to address and understand how politics and economics interact at the global, regional and national level. To this end, the course will discuss the major theoretical and analytical frameworks in the field of IPE and apply them to important contemporary empirical issues related to the impact and implications of globalization. Second, the course aims at providing the fundamental theoretical and analytical tools for the comparative study of welfare state development and reform. In doing so, the course will focus on cross-national and cross-regime comparisons of welfare state institutions, addressing both long-term transformations and recent developments.
