Back to LS-POLI-POLI: School of Politics and International Relations
This module introduces students to different ways of understanding 'the economy': how it does and does not work for people. Through learning theories and concepts in political economy, students will broaden their understanding of economic inequality, what makes 'the economy', how politicians perceive `economic constraints¿, and different visions of a 'good' society. Students will study postwar Britain, from an expanded welfare state to `neoliberalism¿ and privatisation; from so-called 'postwar consensus' policies to the global financial crisis and austerity; and from the fallout of Brexit to the legacy of fossil fuel dependence. This module will be of particular interest to students who studied British Politics, Modernity or Comparative Politics.
