| Course Objectives |
It is aimed that the world economy is studied holistically and on the basis of empirical data. The world economy will be examined not only on the axis of globalization-oriented conceptualization but also on the basic economic movements and trends and theories that explain them. Thus, the dynamics that make up the world economy and the ways in which these dynamics are differentiated can be put forward.
It is aimed that the world economy can be grasped within the scope of practicing not only the theoretical but also the numerical data analysis by analyzing the foreign trade structures in terms of rate-value, partner and transaction balances. |
| Course Content |
The course consists of three parts. Derste, first of all, will examine theories of explaining the world economy. These theories consist of liberal, marxist and world systems theories. After the theoretical discussions, the point of the course will come to the fore as analyzing the world economy using empirical data both in terms of current and past trends. This will be done in two ways: the world economy will be theoretically-empirically resolved from the basic sectors and using the data related to these sectors; world economy; regional concentrations; country examples and general trends.
