404 Special Studies
4 credits; offered both semesters each year
The purpose of the political economy minor is to foster an interdepartmental approach
to the study of advanced industrial societies. This approach incorporates both mainstream
and critical theoretical visions. It provides a focus on European and American society
from a political-economic perspective; i.e., a perspective that emphasizes the roots
of political development in the material basis of a society.
The political economy minor consists of six courses,
drawn from among the courses listed under the three fields described below. At least
one course must be taken from each field; two courses in theory are strongly recommended.
Majors in a participating department may take no more than four courses toward the
political economy minor in that department.
At the discretion of the adviser, equivalent
courses may be substituted.
