The course aims to provide students with the understanding of the main drivers that lead to globalisation. The course explores the main events of the last century, focusing on the role played by the US and later by European Union in defining the rule for the global economic, political and cultural scenarios. A specific part of the course is dedicated to the analysis of the economic and social development of some “emerging economies” or developing countries, in the South-East Asia and in South America. |
|
The main goal of this course is to allow students to understand the economic and industrial phenomena worldwide and to enforce the main analytical tools used by an applied economist. The student will read the economic events and the new equilibrium, risks and opportunities that currently characterise the global scenario. |
|
The program is divided in 2 parts. The first one describes the economic events that have interested the world over the last two decades, focusing especially on developing countries. The second part analyses some specific issues related to economic crisis and is effects on European economics and industrial system. |
