Anotace

This course introduces the basic principles of the global economic system. The primary focus is on the states as principal actors of the contemporary world economy and macroeconomic policies of the states. Although the course takes predominantly the global perspective, regional (EU) and local (Czech) specifics are introduced in the selected parts of the course, primarily through field visits. The policies discussed in the first part of the course are put into historical context to explain the origins and empirical experience with the policies concerned. Most attention is given to policies affecting finance and technologies in the economy. The second part of the course introduces the growing interdependence of states, i.e., globalization. For this purpose, a gentle introduction to international economics is provided to allow for discussion of the globalization effects. The other world economy actors, such as multinational corporations and regional economic integrations, are discussed with particular focus on the European perspective. Specific attention is given to the Czech economy after the transition. The last part of the course is dedicated to current issues of the major centers of the present world economy, i.e., the USA, the EU, and developed Asia, to discuss the risks related to policies run in the regions concerned.

Požadavky k zápisu

The teaching period of the CET courses begins already within the week from January 27, 2025, onwards. 

Because of the early beginning of the CET tuition period before the Faculty course registration is opened, students will not be able to register for the CET courses through the SIS.

In order to be allowed to enroll in the course, you have to:

  *   attend all classes of the particular course during the first week and sign in the attendance sheet form 

  *   send a registration e-mail to [e-mail] by January 31, 2025, to confirm that you would like to be enrolled in the course

If the number of students who fulfill these conditions exceeds the capacity of the course, the time of the registration e-mail decides the order of their enrolment. 

Successful students will be enrolled in the course in the SIS by the FHS International Office.


To get access to the CET facilities during the first week of classes, the students need to ring the doorbell at the main entrance to the CET Center in Palackého 3, Praha 1, and wait to be let in by a buzzer.

 

INFORMATION FOR EXCHANGE STUDENTS:

Because the teaching period of CET courses begins early, these courses are available in spring semesters only for those exchange students who are spending a full academic year at Charles University. They can enroll in 2 CET courses per semester depending on the available capacity and are expected to select regular courses in addition to the CET (YBAC-coded) courses.
