written examination (date and registration: moodle)

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The aim of the lecture is to provide a concise introduction to some of the most important issues in international economics, as for example free trade, the race for the best location, or regional integration. The timeframe of one hour per week makes it necessary to focus on the most critical problems in the global economic context.

Examination topics

The method is to deal primarily with economic issues on the international level, which are controversial or ambivalent in theory and politics. The theoretical foundation is kept rather short in order to provide sufficient space for empirical and institutional matters.
