Write a critical essay responding to one of the following large-scale questions:
• ‘What is wrong with global economic governance, and what is right with it?’
In your answer to this question draw on a variety of readings in class and provide
your unique answer. Make sure to establish first in your essay just how you think the
global economy is governed, before you turn to evaluating it on your own terms.
• ‘How does the operation of the global trading system help to understand how
political power really works in the global economy?’
• ‘Do global markets constrain the policy options of states?’
• ‘Who is in control of the international financial system?’
• ‘Can the operation of global economic governance be changed from civil
society groups? If so, how? If not, why not?
