MRK 3544 Global Economy
MRK 3544 Global Economy
Kursets formål:
Kurset er en innføring i de viktigste over- og mellomstatlige organisasjoner som regulerer internasjonal økonomisk aktivitet, med særlig vekt på den historiske bakgrunnen for, oppbyggingen av og virkemåten til WTO og EU. En spesiell oppmerksomhet vies regimer av relevans for markedsføring og forbrukerhensyn, likeså hvordan det internasjonale sivile samfunn har befestet seg som en sentral opinionsdannende aktør.
Students will gain a basic understanding of the global economy, and understand how organizations, in particular the WTO and the EU, contribute to regulation of international economic activity. They will learn how different theoretical perspectives lead to different conclusions regarding current major issues such as free trade, economic development, the global financial system and environmental change.
The students are to acquire a clear understanding of how cross-border economic activity takes place in a complex regulatory regime, where national government and supranational competencies interact. Students will be able to understand how marketing is regulated as both supranational cross-border services, and as a part of corporate and national states' economic strategies.
Students will be trained to understand the value-based reasons for the supranational regimes, and to have a mature and reflective approach to the problems and weaknesses that characterize these regimes. Likewise, they gain an understanding of how markets need regulation to function.
