ECOP6103: Dynamics of Economic Change
This unit explores the processes of socioeconomic change, and the forces involved in shaping these processes and thus bringing about such change. Through the lens of different theoretical perspectives, and contemporary case studies, you will consider the institutions, the political and ideological interests, the relationships, the spatial impacts, and the constraints involved in socioeconomic changes for nation-states, local communities, firms, classes, households, and individuals. You will learn about a range of issues and debates, and make a detailed study in one such area.
