Theorising Global Political Economy (936M1)
30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)
Autumn teaching
To understand the complexities of the global economy, its structure, dynamics and contradictions, theory is essential. We need to delve beneath surface-level understandings, discerning the underlying mechanisms that govern the creation and distribution of wealth. It necessitates going beyond economics, exploring the social organisation and ideological underpinnings that shape the market.
Through studying theoretical frameworks and concepts, you'll develop analytical and historical knowledge that will equip you to grasp developments in the global political economy. By critically examining prevailing power structures, you'll be empowered to challenge dominant narratives and envision alternative pathways forward.
