透過電影「In Time」，我們來反思一下日常生活與經濟的密不可分，從而試著理解經濟與政治的交纏。
By watching the film In Time, we reflect on the inseparable connection between everyday life and the economy, and in turn attempt to understand the entanglement of economics and politics. |

What is CPE (and how does it differ from IPE?) and which major debates have
shaped it from its beginnings to contemporary scholarship? What major analytical approaches to CPE
exist? |
| 第4週 |
What is/should be the role of the state in governing the economy?
Do people’s economic self-interests influence their policy preferences and political actions? If they do, in what ways are these interests combined and communicated to the state? |
| 第5週 |
What are ‘institutions’ and why is their role in economic and political development so
debated? What are the origins of institutions?
（This topic is of great importance; therefore, it may take two to three weeks of class time to cover, and the assigned readings will also be relatively more extensive. Below are several recommended references:
Przeworski, Adam, Michael E. Alvarez, Jose Antonio Cheibub, and Fernando Limongi. 2000.

1950-1990. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, chapter 3. ）

What are the political consequences of economic ideas?
We need to revisit some classic works in order to understand the intellectual roots of The Wealth of Nations, and we must also extend our observational timeline to discern the similarities and differences between countries. For example, debt crises recur repeatedly, but are the reasons behind each country’s borrowing and the causes of financial turmoil the same or different?

The public's health is intimately linked to politics and policy. But political science seemingly has yet to make a major contribution to understanding the political economy of health. WHY is this the case?
A political economy approach to health and health equity looks at how the way politics, society, and the economy are organized affects the distribution of the “upstream” factors that determine people’s health—factors that are not directly medical, like income, education, or housing. This approach examines how political and economic systems influence who gets access to these resources, through processes such as whose interests are represented, government actions or inactions that shape the economy, how economic power translates into political influence and health resources, and how communities work to change the rules and institutions that govern society and the economy. |

Migration is among the central domestic and global political issues of today. Yet the causes and consequences - and the relationship between migration and global markets – are poorly understood. What are the political, social, economic, and environmental factors that cause people to leave their homes and seek a better life elsewhere?
（In Trading Barriers, Margaret Peters argues that businesses needing low-skilled workers have traditionally supported more open immigration, since immigrants help reduce costs and make these companies more competitive. But as trade barriers fall and developing countries grow economically, many companies in wealthy nations either shut down or move abroad. Those that stay can produce more with fewer workers thanks to productivity gains. These global economic changes have weakened business support for open immigration, strengthened anti-immigrant voices, and led to stricter migration controls.） |

Economists generally dislike tariffs because they impede market transactions and create efficiency losses. From a trade perspective, tariffs prevent foreign sellers and domestic buyers from engaging freely, leaving both parties at an economic disadvantage. However, in cases where a country has infant industries or national security concerns, tariffs can offer certain benefits, which should not be overlooked.
This raises an important question: are there more effective ways to support the growth of domestic infant industries or safeguard national security without weakening it through trade? For instance, policymakers could levy consumption taxes directly on consumers or provide targeted subsidies to domestic industries. If such alternatives exist, why did Trump choose not to use them, instead wielding tariffs like a blunt instrument, indiscriminately striking across the global economy? |
