ECOP3911: Theories in Political Economy
2024 unit information
This unit seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the various theoretical frameworks within which political economic analysis is constructed, and to which you have been introduced in other political economy units. To do this, you will focus on the methodologies, core concepts and philosophical underpinnings of the principal schools of economic thought with particular emphasis on the non-neoclassical approaches to the study of economic issues. If you are considering further study in political economy (Honours, MPhil or PhD), you are strongly encouraged to undertake this unit as it provides the necessary fundamental preparation for further study.
