The course will explore the different aspects of the post-Cold War economy. It will analyze the main protagonists of the globalization process (the USA, China, the EU, Russia, Japan, and emerging economies) and their interactions not only from an economic perspective, but also from geopolitical and geoeconomic perspectives. This approach should allow us to move from long-term trends to today's issues in the globalization process.
Interaction between the instructor and the students, and among them, is more than welcome, because it offers a way to approach many aspects in the right way.
The course represents an opportunity to discuss not only the economic and political international dynamics of the last 40 years, but also to discuss some of the problems of the present time.
The students’ evaluation will be organized in three different ways:
1) An individual short paper on a topic connected with the course (delivered two weeks after the end of the course) (20%)
2) An online presentation (groups will be composed of 2 students) starting two weeks after the end of the course (30%), usually on Saturday morning or at another time in the week, according to the student's schedule
3) A written exam with multiple-choice questions and open questions that will take place during the second week of December (50%)
