It explores the changing institution, organization, product, destination, and general structure of trade, and analyzes the impact of current economic changes in Central and Eastern Europe on prices, employment, exchange rate, trade, and capital flow. It also examines the increasing economic interdependence of countries, which makes the whole world a single market for many commodities, while placing constraints on the extent to which prices can diverge across borders.
The course provides the student with the opportunity to complete an in-depth paper in an area of focus under the close supervision of a professor. The paper should address a particular policy issue—for example, possible Russian reactions to the democratization process in Ukraine—producing policy options, along with proposals for implementing the options. The candidate has the option to defend the study before a panel of professors.
