Welcome to the multimedia course "Global Political Economy: How the World Works?"

This 16 session course has 153 slides with information and notes and is narrated by Jeffrey Harrod who has taught and written about international political economy for several decades. The lectures cover the material found at universities in the subject of “international political economy”. It is not a basic course, however. Rather it is a realistic look at the standard topics of investment, trade, finance, migration and global governance in an attempt to show “how the world works”.
