MSc - International Business and Public Policy
Applications are now being accepted for a new graduate programme. MSc, International Business and Public Policy speaks to the increasing interest in the interaction of business with its political environment.
Developments in the international economy have sparked greater interest in the political environment.
One such event was the global recession of 2008, which challenged assumptions about the efficacy of regulation in many developed states.
More interesting, however, has been the emergence of stable illiberal or authoritarian capitalist regimes.
This has sparked considerable debate about a return to multipolar economic governance based on different – and potentially competing – conceptions of the state-market relationship.
Finally, resource allocation issues, such as climate change and water scarcity, are causing international firms to look more closely at risk management issues associated with geopolitical change.
Course topics include:
-
International Political Economy of Business
-
Political Risk and Corporate Strategy
-
Comparative Corporate Governance
