Since the early 1970s, all advanced industrial
democracies have faced
challenges in adjusting to a changing
international economy. We will examine
how different countries, including the United
States, Japan, Britain, France,
and Germany, have tried to meet these
challenges. The main question
guiding the course is: why do countries respond
to roughly similar problems
in different ways, and what do these responses
reveal about politics in these
countries? Topics covered will include
macroeconomic policy, trade and
industrial policies, industrial relations,
business-government relations, and
the welfare state.
