International Political Economy

This course (5th semester, 5 ECTS) analyzes fundamental methodological approaches in international political economy (neoclassical, Marxist, Keynesian, neo-institutional, realist) and applies their principles to specific thematic areas of international economic relations. It covers international trade, macroeconomic policy coordination, foreign direct investment, economic sanctions, international debt management by international organizations, international monetary cooperation (G-7, G-20), and the process of economic transition and macroeconomic adjustment (Eurozone, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa). Assessment includes a written exam (theory, methodological tools, problem-solving) and individual assignments with presentation. The course is taught in Greek, with availability in English for Erasmus students.
