knowledge of international economics and use that knowledge to understand the
present situation of emerging economies. We will study not only about emerging
economies in general but also about specific cases of emerging economies in
Europe, Latin America and Asia (like the famous BRICs). An obviously
important task of the course will be to examine how emerging economies are
faring under todayÕs global financial crisis. To do that, we will look at the
history of some previous financial crises and compare them with the present
one. After obtaining some basic knowledge about
international economics, the students will explore individual country cases
or compare economic reforms in different countries in their term papers. The
main findings of the term papers will be presented in class at the end of the
semester. Course outline 1. Introduction 2. What are emerging
