This unit journeys through episodes of crises and instability in order to understand their key dynamics are embedded within historical, institutional and social contexts. You will study why some crises have a cyclical character while others do not, and how crisis contains elements to unlock the secrets of present-day and future sources of instability. To detect patterns (trends, cycles and volatility), you will be trained to use basic time series techniques for data analysis which will also assist you to undertake a project that evaluates sources of instability and discusses the challenges for policymakers to soften the ill-effects of economic downturns and create conditions for recovery.
