https://at-ceu.studyguide.timeedit.net/modules/INTR5774?type=COREThe intertwining of state security and political economy is an old theme in international relations scholarship, which has recently attracted renewed attention, due to growing geopolitical tensions in different parts of the world frequently associated with a range of economic issues and questions. In this course, we review a variety of scholarly approaches to conceptualize the security-economy nexus and then take a closer look at different core domains where this nexus has acquired most salience in recent decades. Themes will include trade, foreign investment and international monetary relations, as well as more specific issues such as infrastructure networks, energy, and the use of economic sanctions.
