Globalization and the Organizational Politics of Business-State Relations

This reading/workshop course will review a set of core readings in business-state relations and then move directly to student presentations of current research.   Readings will be drawn from recent findings on corporate governance, comparative business power, financial crisis and response, and foreign direct investment.  Requirements include participation, a short paper on assigned readings, and presentation of a longer paper related to each participant’s current interests.   The course will be graded on a pass-fail basis.
