Course descriptionThis course discusses the position and role of Europe in the international political economy from the pre-industrial era to the present era. The focus of the course is on the analysis of Europe as an actor in the international economy with regard to relevant historical, political, and social conditions and circumstances. A number of important theoretical concepts of international political economy (IPE) will be used for such analysis. The first part of the course deals with the ascendancy of Europe as an economic leader, the Europeanization of the international economy and a discussion of specific conditions for the takeoff of the West. The following part of the course consists of a discussion of the contemporary position of Europe in the world economy – in international trade and monetary issues, and the competitiveness of Europe and its position in key international organizations and regimes. The last part of the course focuses on selected issues, such as the widening of Europe (the accession and convergence of new members), the specifics and the future of the European social market model, and the potential of further European integration and its political and economic logic.At the end of the course, students should acquire a solid command of relevant theories of political economy and a comprehensive understanding of international economic relations and the position of the European economy in the world economy. Students should possess basic skills and competences to analyze the contemporary European economy in international political and economic relations.
