Globalization and Domestic Politics

Undergraduate

This course offers students a general introduction to the political consequences of economic globalization (e.g., the rise of populist parties). We identify the winners and losers of tariff policy, foreign aid, and monetary policy (e.g., a strong/weak dollar), and examine how domestic institutions—such as lobbying and electoral systems—reinforce the advantages enjoyed by globalization’s winners, while also creating opportunities for losers to advocate for policy reversal. 0 Course cr HTBA
