Political Economy
The field of Political Economy focuses on ‘real world economics’: the study of economic developments in their political and policy-relevant context. The minor in Political Economy complements the analysis of the political context with a deep theoretical and empirical understanding how economic dynamics produce winners and losers and how that affects our society and policy choices. The minor addresses a range of pressing social and political issues and their underlying economicdynamics. Some examples are corporate social responsibility, international development and lobbying activities by multinational corporations.
