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 approaches that combine 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.Written work can be submitted in German, but presentations and class discussion are in English.
