GREA ECMO 370 - The Greek Economy

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Description:

This course aims at examining and critically assessing the Greek economy from a historical, international and European perspective. The first series of lectures and seminars traces the origins of the modern Greek economy, its twentieth century transformations and the country's foreign economic relations. Emphasis is placed on the developmental potential of, and constraints imposed upon, the alternative economic policies adopted overtime. The second part of the course analyses Greece's new political economy as part and parcel of a broader - European - unit. Utilizing both an historical and thematic approach, the 'mapping' of Greece's policies and sectors contributes to the analysis of current economic policy options in comparative perspective. Theoretical approaches to development and Greece's economic dilemmas in the context of an enlarged Europe are examined throughout this section. Students who complete the course will have surveyed the main stages of Greek economic development, identifying the specific problems of, and options open to, Greece's contemporary economic policy-making.
