This unit explores global economic integration, especially the renewed 'globalisation' from the 1980s. You will be introduced to different explanatory theories of changing historical patterns. You will analyse debates about whether increased trade, production and financial integration has been for the better or worse, and who have been the winners and the losers. You will concurrently explore the forms of, and debates about, the regulation of economic activity on a global scale, addressing the development and changing roles of states and international agencies.
