Jonas von Ciriacy-Wantrup
Kommentar
This course is meant to introduce students to the study of Political Economy (PE), encompassing central concepts, theories and contemporary scholarship of the discipline, with a particular focus on the case of the United States. The course consists of three main parts. In the first part we will discuss classical theories and concepts which shape contemporary scholarship in PE. We will develop a profound understanding of the main characteristics of a capitalist economy and how Political Economy scholars approach the relationship between politics and economics. The second and third part of the seminar are dedicated to the analysis of the US case in Political Economy, especially in Comparative Political Economy (CPE). We will cover contemporary theoretical frameworks for the comparative analysis of capitalism within CPE. We will set a particular focus on the case of the United States, and how it compares to other political economies – especially those in Europe – and analyze the role of the US in global developments of the political economy in the last decades. Students that want to take this course should be willing to do the weekly readings and have a basic understanding of concepts and theories in political science, sociology, and economics. Schließen
