Configuring the World examines the nature of the forces that have constructed the world we live in through the lens of the discipline of political economy. Political Economy studies the causal interaction between economics and politics, but in this course we will examine critically the nature of the evidence upon which these configurations are based.  What lies behind the concepts employed and does the data support the claims made for it? Only by undermining our certainties can we appreciate what we really know, and distinguish it from what we merely suppose. After an introductory module, the course will concentrate on five interrelated political economy concepts, examining how they affect our configuration of the world, and the expectations we can derive from this knowledge. This will be followed by three case studies and a final closing session for reflections and conclusions.

课程简介

In today’s world, politics and economics are inextricably interconnected, but the nature of that connectivity and the direction of that causation is often disputed. This course examines the nature of these debates, and it also examines critically the nature of the data upon which the analyses are made and the conclusions are drawn.
