Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this module, students will have acquired a profound comprehension of both the theoretical underpinnings and thematic intricacies within the realm of international political economy (IPE). Individually, students will be assessed through two in-class examinations carefully designed to evaluate their assimilation of assigned readings and their engagement in class discussions. Thus, these examinations will draw directly from the materials covered in the readings and class interactions. To foster advanced critical thinking and analytical skills, students will also be tasked with crafting two critique papers. Spanning 4-6 pages and adhering to double-spaced formatting, each paper will facilitate the honing of essential research and writing abilities, while concurrently fostering a nuanced comprehension of contemporary IPE complexities. Additionally, students are expected to lead presentations on assigned readings.
