Information
Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung
The seminar aims to familiarize doctoral students with current theoretical and substantive debates in comparative and international political economy. It starts from the basic assumption that issues of power, wealth and inequality in current capitalism can only be understood by combines the insights of both strands of political economy. In comparative political economy, the course introduces and seeks to go beyond the influential varieties of capitalism (VoC) approach, which is concerned with the question of how differences in institutional settings shape different models of capitalism. We will read foundational VoC texts, present its critics, and introduce the newly emerging growth model perspective. In international political economy, we will focus on heterodox and (neo) Marxist approaches as well as green and feminist IPE. In terms of substantive debates, the course focusses on issues such as business power in contemporary capitalism, economic crises, inequality, financialization.

They should shortly summarize the readings, reflect on the major arguments, and include questions for further discussion. Position papers can compare the readings to other readings of the class, or apply the readings to an empirical case.

Students might be asked to shortly present or defend their papers in class. (40% of the grade)• Two question papers: These papers ask 2-3 questions about the readings, or the relationship between the readings with each question accompanied by an expository paragraph explaining the origin and context of the question. Students are expected to upload questions to the course webpage latest by noon the Wednesday before the class (20% of the grade)• Presentation of parts of your dissertation (depending on where you are in the process this can be the concept, a chapter, or the summary of your findings). We will set aside some time in each meeting (or less, this depends on the number of students attending the class) to give you the opportunity to present parts of your dissertation and get peer-feedback. The material for the presentation (concept, chapter) should be submitted a week prior to the class web page to give everyone the chance to read it.
