American Political Economy in Comparative Perspective

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

This course examines key features of the American political economy in comparative perspective. The increased academic attention to this subject allows us to investigate, moreover, why and how new research areas emerge in the discipline. We will review core literature in comparative political economy, situate the U.S. case within it, and highlight its distinctive aspects. In doing so, we consider a range of topics, such as labor markets, finance, taxation, social policy, and the role of corporate and other affluent interests - and their impact on substantive outcomes like inequality and economic performance. A central goal is to identify promising avenues for further research.
