Over the last fifteen years, there has been a dramatic shift in the relationship of developing countries to the global economy. International capital flows to low and middle income countries, once the domain of international institutions like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, are now dominated by private portfolio investment and foreign direct investment. In addition, developing countries, once spectators to the evolution of the GATT system of multilateral trading rules, are now deeply involved in the evolution of the multilateral system. The volume and compositions of their exports has also changed dramatically over this period. These changes reflect, in part, a shift in our understanding of the role that the international economy can play in economic development and growth.
This course deals with the international economy (trade and finance) and its implications for economic growth and development. Topics to be covered that relate to development and international finance include: the determinants of international capital flows to developing countries; the implications of debt finance for growth; and the role of multinational enterprises in developing countries. Trade-related topics include: theories regarding international trade and economic development; the general institutional structure of the world trading system (the World Trade Organization, APEC, the Lome convention, etc.) and the relationship of developing countries to the system; and the pattern and implications of trade policies in developed and developing countries; implications of regionalism for developing countries.
Topics in the course are generally illustrated through a mix of theoretical analyses, applied examples and case studies.
