Unit content:

The first part of this unit equips students with a thorough understanding of analytical approaches to comparative capitalism. We discuss various alternative approaches to the study of comparative capitalism, and identify basic analytical concepts. The second part offers students opportunities to analyse differences and similarities of capitalist economies with a focus on important policy and governance dimensions. We focus on case studies of particular forms of capitalism, and the political interactions between business and politics. Examples will be drawn from the Indo Pacific region focusing on the political economy of rising capitalisms in India and China as well as the Asian states of Korea and Japan. The module concludes by examining the impact of globalization on forms of capitalism and the impact of these processes on regional and global governance including global supply chains.
