Description:

Arndt This course examines the costs and benefits of preferential economic integration in Europe, North America, and Asia and considers the future of proposed groupings like the Free Trade Area of the Americas. The increase in recent years of preferential trade arrangements between advanced and poor countries raises important questions about their role in economic development. In the financial and monetary area, integration is a reality in Europe and under serious discussion in other regions, where it is widely viewed as a superior alternative to existing exchange-rate arrangements. Course work includes readings and teambased area studies. Prerequisites: Economics 101 and 102. Offered every other year.
