Globalisation is a controversial economic phenomenon. Is free trade a blessing or a threat? Should all countries open their borders to capital flows? Are Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) necessary for innovation and growth or do they block the diffusion of ideas? What are the economic consequences of migration flows? How can countries coordinate their actions to deal with the environmental consequences of globalisation? In this course, you will develop an understanding of various economic tools that will allow you to form an informed opinion on these issues and you will be trained in how to put forth your ideas in an organized and persuasive manner. All aspects of globalisation will be covered: flows of goods and service, flows of capital, flows of ideas and flows of people.
