Problem 1:
Part A: What is the power con?guration that has promoted and sustained globalization?
Part B: Indicate which of those elements are now under signi?cant stress. Utilize the World Order scheme to respond.
Problem 2: How do you measure and compare the economic versus the human development of India? Do you think this is an example of evolutionary (piecemeal) or structural transition? Explain.
Problem 3: Make a list and do a comparison of the measures applied by the US and some European countries to restrict trade with Russia and China. What is similar and what is different? What are the implications for global trade?
Problem 4: Regional integration entails at one and the same time freer trade and trade restrictions. Explain how this seeming contradiction works out in the case of USMCA, looking at North American trade and trade with non- members (e.g. Europe).
Problem 5: Which type of political system is better suited for rapid economic development? Autocratic, Democratic or Totalitarian? Make your argument with concrete examples from recent history.
