This module introduces students to the study of international political economy (IPE) and global development. It examines the reciprocal, interactive relationship between politics and economics or between states and markets in the contemporary international system by exploring how political factors influence international economic relations and how the international economy in turn shapes domestic and international politics. 

The module introduces the main theoretical approaches in international political economy and global development and illustrates the contributions of these approaches to our understanding of the global political economy. 

The module surveys the interactions between state and societal actors at the interface between the domestic and international domains in a variety of issue areas. These include international trade and monetary relations, transnational production, economic development, and global governance. In studying these issues, the module examines the causes and effects of policy choices that states and societal groups make to regulate international economic relations, of international and regional co-operation and conflicts over trade, monetary, development and other policies, and of global market integration. 

This module is designed in such a manner that it will provide second-year politics students with an accessible introduction to the basic concepts of political economy and global development and sensitise them to interdisciplinary methods and models in the study of international relations. The module not only provides a comprehensive introduction to international political economy and global development but also serves a foundation course that qualifies students to take further options in the political economy of international trade, monetary relations, financial markets, development, and globalisation. 

Module Code: M12089

As taught in Spring Semester 2010. 

This module provides an introduction to modern macroeconomic analysis. Macroeconomics is concerned with some of the most pressing and fundamental questions economists can ask, such as: What determines economic growth? Why do economies exhibit expansions ('booms') and contractions ('busts') in output? What drives employment and wages, saving and investment? What causes inflation and why is it a problem? What, if anything, can governments do to improve the performance of an economy?

Microeconomics is concerned with the analysis of economic agents and markets at the individual level. Macroeconomics is concerned with the aggregate implications of microeconomic behaviour at the economy-wide level. So there is a clear connect between the actions of individual agents in the economy and the aggregate performance of the economy. This is the starting point for modern macroeconomic analysis - though macroeconomics has not always been understood or taught in these terms, and prior study of macroeconomics at A-level or equivalent is not based on this modern understanding of macroeconomics built on 'microfoundations'. Consequently prior study of economics is not necessary for taking this module and students who have studied macroeconomics previously may have to re-think how they understand the aggregate economy.

This module is suitable for study at Undergraduate level 1


Dr John Gathergood, School of Economics.

John Gathergood joined the School of Economics as an ESRC Postdoctoral Research Fellow in July 2008. His main area of research is household finance, with a particular interest in household financial behaviour in relation to housing wealth, participation in credit markets and self-employment.

As taught Semester 1 2009/2010. 

There are no pre-requisites to taking this module and in particular there is no assumption of any prior knowledge of economics. For those who have taken A-level economics or any other version of economics some of the module content will appear familiar to you. However, the methods of analysis and the approach to teaching will quite probably be very different to anything experienced before and thus it is very important that good lecture notes are made, essays are thoughtfully written and background reading is undertaken. If not, then a degree level of understanding of the material will not be achieved. 

This module is suitable for study at undergraduate level 1

As taught Semester 1 2009/2010. 

There are no pre-requisites to taking this module and in particular there is no assumption of any prior knowledge of economics. For those who have taken A-level economics or any other version of economics some of the module content will appear familiar to you. However, the methods of analysis and the approach to teaching will quite probably be very different to anything experienced before and thus it is very important that good lecture notes are made, essays are thoughtfully written and background reading is undertaken. If not, then a degree level of understanding of the material will not be achieved. 

This module is suitable for study at undergraduate level 1

This module explores and analyses democratic politics in Latin America since the third wave of democratization in the 1980s. It is divided into three parts: 

1. Conceptualising democracy in the region with a focus on the debate between those who argue that liberal democracy and liberal markets are necessary and desirable and those who argue that only experiments that go beyond both will truly democratise the region. 

2. Explaining problems in democratic development such as lack of participation, representation and citizenship with reference to the political economy of neoliberalism, dependent development and political culture, amongst other theories. 

3. Asking the question: who are the actors who will democratise democracy in Latin America, with a focus on political parties, social movements, elites/technocrats and NGOs. All discussions will be contextualised with reference to particular case studies

There are no pre-requisites for this module. In particular, there is no assumption that Mathematics has previously been studied to A-level standard. In common with practically all subjects, theory in Economics is intrinsically mathematical, and those areas of Mathematics - principally differential calculus and its applications - most relevant to Economics will be covered. The mathematical techniques will be illustrated through economic applications, principally microeconomic, in part because a microeconomics module is taken in parallel with this one. 

It is important that you practice and try to understand the mathematical concepts presented to you within this module as they will be used throughout your undergraduate Economics degree. If you do not understand the mathematical concepts presented then seek help from the lecturer, the tutor or your QE1 tutor group.

There are no pre-requisites for this module. In particular, there is no assumption that Mathematics has previously been studied to A-level standard. In common with practically all subjects, theory in Economics is intrinsically mathematical, and those areas of Mathematics - principally differential calculus and its applications - most relevant to Economics will be covered. The mathematical techniques will be illustrated through economic applications, principally microeconomic, in part because a microeconomics module is taken in parallel with this one. 

It is important that you practice and try to understand the mathematical concepts presented to you within this module as they will be used throughout your undergraduate Economics degree. If you do not understand the mathematical concepts presented then seek help from the lecturer, the tutor or your QE1 tutor group.

The module introduces those statistical methods and concepts most applicable in economics. There are no pre-requisites: In particular, no previous knowledge of statistics will be assumed. The analysis of economic data necessarily proceeds in an environment where there is uncertainty about the processes that generated the data. Statistical methods provide a framework for understanding and characterising this uncertainty. 

These concepts are most conveniently introduced through the analysis of single-variable problems. However, economists are most often concerned about relationships among variables. The module builds towards the study of regression analysis, which is often applied by economists in studying such relationships. 

Module Code: L11206 

Year: 2010/11 

Suitable for study at: undergraduate level 1 

Credits: 15 

Method and Frequency of Class: 3 x 1 hour lectures per week, 1 x 1 hour tutorial per week
