  Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

  This course is an undergraduate-level introduction to political science, building on the modules ‘Introduction to Political Science’ and ‘Britain and Europe : Past, Present and Future’ taught in Year 1.

  The course, in broad terms, comes in two halves. The first part deals with different aspects of international politics most relevant to the Euro-Atlantic area, examining from a theoretical perspective shifts in the European security environment as well as the institutional mechanisms for managing competition amongst nation-states in the contemporary world. Here, the aim is to complement students’ empirical understanding of international politics from Year 1 with the discipline’s main theoretical paradigms. The second part introduces students to the foundations of public policy, including the relationship beween the state and the market ; and questions of modern governance, such as ‘the politics of the internet’ and ‘the politics of the environment’.

  It is a course in its own right to reflect on

  the contemporary political order. But it also serves as a foundation for more specialised courses in Political Science/ International Relations/ Public Policy at the graduate level.

  Compétences à acquérir :

  This module introduces the conceptual principles of International Relations and Public Policy. By the end of this course, students will be ablee to apply the key theoretical and coceptual paradigms to empirical contexts. In other words, this module requires students to systematically analyse complex political situations from various theoretical perspectives. Students should further be able to discuss critically, and write knowledgeably, about major issues in politics.

  Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

  The course aims at providing the fundamental macroeconomics theories with a specific focus on the description of a general equilibrium and the consequences of economic policies on economic growth and unemployment. The IS-LM/AS-AD model will be developed in both a context of perfect and imperfect competition. Impact of economic policies will then be studied under different time horizons highlighting the degree of rigidity of prices and wages. Shock of demand (mainly fiscal policy, monetary policy and mixed policcy) and shock of supply (productivity, variation of wages) will be simulated through numerical exercises and multipliers computations. A significant portion of this course is dedicated to quantitative modelling and chart analysis as support of key economic concepts.

  Compétences à acquérir :

  By the end of this module, students will have demonstrated:

   

  Knowledge

  1. An ability to describe in details the interelations between the different types of markets (goods market, monetary markets, securities markets, labour markets) and to comprehend by which mechanism a general equilibrium could be achieved.

  2. An ability to analyse the consequences of economic policies (especially monetary, fiscal and mixed policies) under different time horizons (short, medium, long term).

  6. An ability to define the concept of public goods, to understand the condition of optimality for the production of this type of goods (i.e Bowen Lindahl Samuelson condition), to understand how its production generates some inefficiency in a decentralised economy and to explore the different sollutions-procedures to resolve this market inefficiency (public intervention through majority decision (Bowen vote), individualised taxation etc.).

  Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

  The course aims at presenting the fixed-prices open-macroeconomics model, also called the Mundell-Fleming model. The first part of the course considers a generic version of the model with two polar exchange rate arrangements (perfect flexibility and hard peg) and variable degree of capital controls. The model is then used to assess the effects of economic policies in a small open economy, with a focus on the perfect capital mobility case. The second part of the course presents a two-country extension in order to explicate the role of international spillovers and to consider different exchange rate arrangements: floating, asymmetric fixed exchange rate regime vs. monetary union.

  Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

  The course aims at providing an explanation / exploration of the fundamental microeconomics theories, with a specific focus on the role of market inefficiencies and the different solutions emphasised by the theories to resolve them. Following a first chapter of consolidation of what has been taught during the end of the first year of a degree course (pure and perfect competitive framework, the existence of a general equilibrium, its pareto-efficiency leading to the first theorem of welfare economics) this course will mainly focus on market inefficiencies and will cover in detail the theory of externality and the theory of public goods.

  Compétences à acquérir :

  By the end of this module, students will have demonstrated:

   

  Knowledge

  1. An ability to understand how a partial equilibrium could be achieved in a decentralised economy and how public intervention could affect (or not) this equilibrium and impact surpluses of economic agents.

  2. An ability to analyse the mechanism by which a general equilibrium could be achieved (in an economy with or without production) and to assess its pareto optimality.

  3. An ability to understand the first and second fundamental theorem of welfare and their limits.

  4. An ability to describe how game theory (and more specifically the Nash equilibrium) could be used to reconsider the theorems of welfare.

  5. An ability to define the concept of externality, to understand how it generates some inefficiency in a decentralised economy and to explore the different sollutions to resolve this market inefficiency (internalisation, public intervention (Pigou), redefinition of property rights (Coase theorem)).

  6. An ability to define the concept of public goods, to understand the condition of optimality for the production of this type of goods (i.e Bowen Lindahl Samuelson condition), to understand how its production generates some inefficiency in a decentralised economy and to explore the different sollutions-procedures to resolve this market inefficiency (public intervention through majority decision (Bowen vote), individualised taxation etc.).

  Description du contenu de l'enseignement :

  The course aims at presenting the fixed-prices open-macroeconomics model, also called the Mundell-Fleming model. The first part of the course considers a generic version of the model with two polar exchange rate arrangements (perfect flexibility and hard peg) and variable degree of capital controls. The model is then used to assess the effects of economic policies in a small open economy, with a focus on the perfect capital mobility case. The second part of the course presents a two-country extension in order to explicate the role of international spillovers and to consider different exchange rate arrangements: floating, asymmetric fixed exchange rate regime vs. monetary union.
