Theory & Practice Track

Geopolitics of Finance

Global financial crises, increasing social divides worldwide, and deepening mistrust between business and government require a holistic multi-stakeholder approach that builds bridges among various research fields. This track explores the intersection of financial markets, politics, and the recent confluence of new technological, environmental, and geopolitical developments that has fundamentally altered the global operating environment. Its companion courses will help students grapple with fundamental questions of globalization. What are the social, political, cultural and economic impacts of globalization? Where are the fault lines in the financial world that could precipitate another crisis, and possible realignments, in the global monetary order?

This track will be offered at least through the 2023-24 academic year.

HNUH239T: Geopolitics of Finance: Causes and Consequences of Globalization

Instructor: Gerald Suarez

In this course, we explore the recent confluence of new technological, environmental, and geopolitical developments that has fundamentally altered the global operating environment. Students will learn the major pressures facing the global economy: rising nationalism and protectionism, diverging growth paths of emerging markets, and accelerated digital integration. They will meet advocates of globalization who applaud the increased flow of goods, services, and capital across borders, and critics heralding threats to trade, migration, job security, etc. Students take on this thorny debate to prepare for leadership roles in a century brought about by current trends in the global economy. This course is self-contained but paired with HNUH239P in the Geopolitics of Finance Theory & Practice Track, which explores how globalization has brought about fundamental changes to our daily lives by making the world more interdependent.
