Economic Development for International
Affairs - (ED01)

objective is to give students a framework to think about the processes that drive
economic development, as well as policies that might promote it.
Advanced Economic Development for
International Affairs - (ED02)
Focus on the most recent developments related to microfinance (credits, savings and
insurance). The course will also include papers at the intersection between behavioral
economics and development, with focus on self-control problems.
Economics of Finance - (ED03) Finance deals with the theory of how households and firms use capital markets to
allocate resources over time. The course will equip you with a solid theoretical

will further acquaint you with the details of debt, equity and derivatives markets so
you can apply your knowledge to practical problems
International Political Economy - (ED04) An introduction to the politics of international economic relations. We examine the
history and institutions of the international political economy and the theories that
seek to explain them as well as analyze several political economy issues at once
classic and contemporary, such as the sources of economic growth, the origins and
consequences of globalization, and causes of and appropriate policy responses to

income inequality. In addition to sampling contemporary writings in the field, we
read several classic works, especially on theoretical approaches. Students need not
have an extensive background in international economics to complete this course
satisfactorily, but those not familiar with basic economic principles will find several
sections of the class very challenging.
International Finance & Monetary Theory -
(ED05)
To provide students with the analytic tools necessary to think through "real life"
international economic policy situations. The Program is primarily meant for those
interested in working at international financial institutions, the foreign-service, Wall
Street, or the financial press. Investigate individual themes including exchange rate
regimes; BoP crises and contagion; global imbalances and the savings glut; the role of
FX in "inflation targeting" regimes; and capital markets and emerging markets
finance.
Indian Economy in Transition - (ED06) To an analytic study of the transformation and devoted to understanding the reforms
that are under way or must be undertaken to accelerate growth and poverty reduction.
On the macroeconomic front, we will discuss the issues related to fiscal deficit, public
debt and the likelihood of a macroeconomic crisis. Special attention will be paid to
the external sector reforms including trade liberalization, foreign investment
liberalization, capital account convertibility, preferential trade arrangements and
multilateral trade negotiations. Among domestic reforms, we will discuss the reform
of the tax system, subsidies, agriculture, product and factor markets, infrastructure
and social sectors.
Global Economic Policy - (ED07) Focus on the international capital markets: past, present, and future trends. Theory of
dominant currencies and currency areas. The international general equilibrium
system. Impediments to global efficiency. International macroeconomic and
development policies. Economic and political control of resources and transport.
International pollution. World inflation and depression. Control of international

Through a mix of analytical overview and practical cases, the class will discuss, from
a practitioner’s point of view the rise of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India and China);
the strengths and weaknesses of each of the BRICs and will do a comparative
analysis of the four countries; several fundamental themes linked to the rise of BRIC:

expansion of the middle class; pressures on commodities; development of capital and
investment markets; research and innovation; how countries and international
companies position themselves the rise of BRIC; the role of BRICs in the world
governance. The goals of this class are to provide students with a solid understanding
of the challenges and opportunities arising from the rise of the BRICs and to give
them the tools that will help them understand the dynamics at work.

Days
Political Development in the Developing
World - (PD01)
Examine enduring and new debates in political development and their implications
for policy and policymaking. Matters of state-society relations, democracy and
democratization, how political change occurs, and the role of institutions have been
heavily researched and discussed in academia. Those discussions and issues have also
shaped policy and policy debates in development, diplomacy and domestic
policymaking. Examine many of the traditional issues of political development, such
as state-society relations, structure versus agency, democracy, as well as new topics
including the growth of identity politics and the implications of the rise of the Global
South on politics and democracy.
Multidisciplinary Approaches to
Development - (PD02)
This Program will provide Internees with a multidisciplinary framework for historical
and current debates on development. It will offer students a basic understanding of
what constitutes “development” (ends) and how to promote it (means). The initial
lecture presents the broad issue of development trends and the multidisciplinary
approach, as seen today through the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the
United Nations in 2015.
Political Development - (PDO3) This program addresses past and new debates in political development, both from an
analytical perspective and regarding its implications for policy and policymaking. We
will examine State formation and development in non-Western countries, power
structures and polity/society relations in developing societies, conventional wisdoms
on politics and political institutions, identity in politics, political transitions and
democratization, state and administration reforms, violence and security. The

6. Post-Graduate Internship On Economic and Political Development

Program will provide participants with conceptual tools and arguments so they better
understand and analyze political development both as a historical process and, in the
context of the post-colonial era, as a set of international policies.
Theory of International Trade - (PD04) The theory of comparative advantage, the gains form trade, trade and income
distribution, international factor mobility, growth and trade.
The International Organizations and United
Nations - (PD05)
This Program intends to provide students with a mental map of the international
organizations that shape public policy and determine global action at a level beyond
the nation state. Such a mapping exercise is useful for all SIPA students, as each of
the concentrations and regional specializations requires clarity about the institutions
that influence the developments in their area of study, be it the large global structures
of the United Nations system or the Bretton Woods framework, regional actors such
as the African Union, non-governmental behemoths like World Vision International,
or specialized public-private partnerships, exemplified by GAVI, the Global Alliance
for Vaccines and Immunization. Insight into the nature and scope of such
international organizations is key to understanding the decision making processes
affecting economic development, human rights, the environment, international
security and social policy.
Russia and the Former Soviet States -(PD06) Russia has strong geostrategic interests in the region, regarding it as part of its
historical sphere of influence. Russia's overarching goals, with the Former State or
Caspian states, are to: safeguard Russian territory and protect Russian national
populations in the region; gain greater control over the production and transport of
energy; limit the influence of external actors in the region, such as the US and China
While the 1990s were a time of chaos and the turn of the 21st century was a time of
rebuilding for Russia, by the mid-2000s political and security developments in the
former Soviet space challenged Russia and led the Kremlin to take a more proactive
role in the region. Though Russia has made much headway in expanding its influence
and shaping political life in the former Soviet states over the past decade, it still faces
many constraints such as potential NATO and EU expansion in its neighborhood.
Theories of International Relations - (PD07) Theories of International Relations allow us to understand and try to make sense of
the world around us through various lenses, each of which represents a different
theoretical perspective. In order to consider the field as a whole for beginners it is
necessary to simplify IR theory. This chapter does so by situating IR theory on a
three-part spectrum of traditional theories, middle-ground theories and critical

7. Post-Graduate Internship On Economic and Political Development

theories.
The US Foreign Policy- (PD08) A central function of the U.S. government is to conduct relations with the almost 200
other nations in the world. A nation is a sovereign country, and as such, possesses the
highest authority over its territories. All sovereign states are theoretically equal.
Foreign policy determines how America conducts relations with other countries. It is
designed to further certain goals. It seeks to assure America’s security and defense. It
seeks the power to protect and project America’s national interests around the world.
National interest shapes foreign policy and covers a wide range of political,
economic, military, ideological, and humanitarian concerns. America’s foreign policy
has changed over time reflecting the change in its national interest. There was a
before 9/11, and there is an after 9/11 US Foreign Policy”.

Economics
Many developing countries suffer from endemic poverty, slow economic growth,
unequal distribution of income and wealth, low levels of agricultural and industrial
investment, and ineffective government services. Compounding, and partly giving
rise to, these problems are shocks emanating from the world economy.
The Economics of Development (ECD) major provides students with the theoretical
knowledge, policy awareness, and analytical techniques to tackle many of the key
issues facing their countries in respect of economic development and economic policy
analysis. The major integrates macroeconomic issues with the underlying
microeconomic processes, emphasizing the importance of, on the one hand, the
global economic environment and, on the other hand, domestic institutions,
regulatory frameworks and socio-economic groups. It pays particular attention to the
impact of international and domestic economic issues.
