    Short Description of Subj. The course gives an overview of economic and development policies that have made rich countries rich, while at the same time introducing the elements of a theory of uneven economic development. The course discusses policies from the Renaissance, mercantilism and cameralism of continental Europe, and the successful policies of development and industrialization from the rise of the USA, Germany and Japan to the success of Ireland and Finland in the late 20th century. Special attention is given to policy failures: why certain economic policies failed in certain contexts? The policies are discussed against the backdrop of the development of economic theory.

    Final result of course consist ofStudents’ paper - 100% (limit 3000 words. Deadline - October 31)
    Students’ paper themes
    1. What would you identify as important common elements of successful industrial policy over time? Please discuss, emphasizing how and why different economic activities have been perceived as qualitatively different as vehicles for creating economic growth and welfare.

    2. Identify and discuss the toolbox of economic policy suggested by Alexander Hamilton in order to develop the United States in 1791. Discuss what the goals of his policies were then. In your opinion, are these goals still desirable and/or feasible for a nation to strive after today?

    In the case of both papers you may wish to discuss the issues raised either in general terms, or as the subject relates to the problems of one specific country. Both approaches are equally valid.
