MSFS-525 International Business Government Relations in the Global Economy
Spring only
The purpose of this course is to give students a firm grasp of how and why governments and businesses interact the way they do across a wide spectrum of situations and issues, and to impart skills students will need to operate in a business-government relations milieu. In addition to looking at the interaction between business and government per se, we will examine how the structures, environments, interests, agendas, and constituencies of both parties shape the interactive relationship, and drive issue and policy outcomes.
The course will start with an analytic, organizing framework. We will look at governments and examine how their logics, environments, interests and agendas shape their policy responses to issues involving businesses. We will then examine businesses and how their logics, environments, interests and agendas shape their responses to issues involving governments. We will then leverage the frame developed to provide insights into business-government relations across a range of issues, actors, and geographies, in such spheres as environmental policy, intellectual property, developing country debt, national competitiveness, privatization, labor migration, and government regulation.
Credits: 3
Prerequisites: None
