About this course
Gain extensive knowledge of key trends underlying the global economy and its transformation. Analyse economic issues in their social and political contexts and from a variety of perspectives. Develop an understanding of issues such as power and inequality, globalisation and its impact on national economic policy settings, and the trade-offs between the free market and broader social concerns.
The Department of Political Economy is a leading centre for economic analysis and research. The Master of Political Economy will provide you with a deeper knowledge of current economic challenges and trends.
Taught from a range of heterodox economics traditions, our approach promotes dialogue and synthesis with other social science disciplines. Subjects include country risk, wealth and income inequality, labour migration, environmental sustainability, finance and fragility, trade and development.
