International Political Economy
GOVT 329
Fall 2025
Section: 01  

This course examines the political consequences of and responses to international economic exchange between countries with an emphasis on whether climate change changes this political behavior. In particular, we will look at how domestic actors, such as voters, firms, and associations, respond to and try to shape government action on issues such as trade, international finance, migration and foreign direct investment. Rather than consider climate change and its policy as a separate domain, this course will focus on the interaction between the climate and other policy areas in international political economy (IPE). Students will be provided with an introduction to these topics via lectures and discussion sections as well as data analysis and social science research techniques in weekly labs.
