Course Description:

This course provides a broad survey of some of the major debates in comparative political economy today, focusing especially on the creation, evolution and reform of market institutions.  We begin by reading some of the classic works in political economy, including those of Smith, Marx, List, and Polanyi.  We review some of the most influential works from four disciplines: History, Sociology, Economics, and Political Science.  We then proceed with a selective survey of literature on the political economy of developed countries, newly industrialized economies, developing countries, and the post-Communist economies. The class concludes with the discussion on the post-globalization era and rise of state capitalism.
