MA in Global Economic Affairs - Political Economy in Denver United States | University of Denver

Global Economic Affairs breaks from traditional economics programs. We've removed the flashy yet impractical economic theories found in textbooks, concentrating instead on real-world economic systems. This program emphasizes political economy—the intricate relationships between economics, politics, and policymaking. GEA equips students to analyze and address current critical economic issues. Students explore international trade and finance, how global economic trends influence domestic politics, the forces behind economic growth, inequality, and sustainability, corporate roles in global relations, corporate social responsibility, and other vital economic topics. The curriculum connects theory with practical policy and institutional frameworks, balancing qualitative and quantitative approaches.
