INAF-523 Globalization: Challenges for Developed Countries
Fall only
This course develops the theoretical and practical tools needed to participate in the design of public policy, conduct business-government relations, and formulate some aspects of corporate strategy in the industrial economies of Europe, Asia and North America. The course focuses on policies to deal with the dilemmas of globalization, and to strengthen the competitiveness of firms, workers, and nations; strategic trade theory and contemporary trade policy; forward pricing, fair pricing, and dumping; outward investment and the A Great Sucking Sound; inward investment and the Who-Is-Us? Debate; critical technology development; foreign acquisitions and national security; and policies to enhance the returns to workers and slow the growing disparity in income. While concentrating on contemporary problems of public policy, business-government relations, and corporate strategy in the United States, the course contrasts dilemmas in North America with the corresponding experience in Europe, Japan, and to a certain extent China. (This course replaces Political Economy of Competitiveness, and cannot be taken by any student who has enrolled in that prior course.)
