    Description
    In this course, students examine the phenomenon of globalization using economic analysis to explore controversial themes of the globalization debate such as off shoring, sweatshops, environmental standards, intellectual property protection, cultural diversity, economic development, and immigration as well as the international flow of goods, services, labor, and capital. Topics include the history of globalization, the consequences of international trade, the migration of labor, global financial flows, the implications of globalization for growth and poverty, the environment, governance, and international institutions (e.g., the World Bank, the North American Free Trade Agreement, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Trade Organization).
