FAIR GLOBAL ORDER - arguing the (im)possible? For Harvard’s Dani Rodrik the key question is what kind of rules we need so that economic globalization does not compromise macroeconomic development objectives of nation states. The purpose of this course is to approach this question from a different perspective. What kind of rules, institutions and norms (if any at all) do we need so that economic globalization produces as many winners and as few losers as possible? The answer to this question is hidden in the mandatory readings and as the topic of the second class suggests, we need to start from a scratch. The course is held in fairly non technical manner and requires high school knowledge of economics and healthy dose of curiosity. At the beginning of each class one student presents briefly major points of the readings and proposes several questions which should structure the subsequent debate. |
