3 unit(s)

S. McBride (cross-listed as GLOBALST 705)

This course examines the dynamics of global-national interaction in a variety of policy areas drawn from areas like the welfare state, economic management, trade and investment, privatization, un/employment, migration, and health. Debates around the role of ideas, structures and institutions, and issues of policy continuity and change frame discussions around global governance, the re-focusing of the state, and its response to crises, including austerity policies and their alternatives.
