The course is aimed to develop the students’ comprehension of the complexity of the global socio-economic transformations for roughly four decades. On the one hand, in this period of history we observe a great success of development policies and technological changes. On the other hand, crisis and commodity price fluctuations, Great Moderation and Great Recession were in the center of events.
