Course Objectives This course, which is prepared for undergraduate students studying in the field of economics and administrative sciences, aims to learn theoretical information and current developments about the financial, monetary, international economic system and globalization of students.
Course Content Today, the monetary and financial system has a hierarchical quality that reflects the international structure. In particular, with the elimination of the Bretton Woods monetary system in 1971, it became difficult to determine the value of the money international lychee, as well as the pressure of currencies that could become reserve currencies on the new system. Money has become a value and commodity, largely from being a measure of a certain value today. Moreover, it is difficult to say that the price of this metatonis is determined in full competitive conditions. The price of money is determined in an oligopolistic structure, reflecting international power relations. In today's time when the international hierarchical model is in crisis of hegemony, both the currency and the international financial system itself are in a crisis of legitimacy that endangers their own assets. Within the framework of all these cases, the course will try to analyze the present and future of the world and Turkish economies, centered on finance and globalization.
Learning Outcomes (LO) 1- To be able to analyze the international balances in the global system and international politics in the light of international current developments, 2- To be able to foresee the comparative superiority of our country for the future in foreign trade by learning which fields come to the fore in the international system today.
