Kommentar
Recent years have seen a growing interest in the 'digitalisation' of the global economy. On one level, digitalisation refers to the growing power and influence of big tech companies, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and Amazon. How do these companies make profits? How do they influence governments? How do they threaten to disrupt other industries? On another level, it refers to the growing dependence of our daily lives on digital technologies. We use Google Maps to navigate cities, we use WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends, we buy gifts on Amazon, and we use Tinder to find a date. What are the political implications of these daily dependencies? Who benefits from them? Should they be resisted, or changed? The disciplinary research tradition of International Political Economy (IPE) offers a comprehensive set of social scientific approaches to study these questions, ranging from systemic approaches, such as liberalism, realism, or Marxism, to more situated approaches, such as feminist, post-colonial, and cultural IPE. This course encourages students to engage these approaches to develop a theoretically nuanced and empirically sound understanding of the digital economy. Schließen
