This course introduces an anthropological approach to politics by bringing anthropological ways of thinking and modes of analysis to bear on some of the key presuppositions of modern Western political thought. Ideas of rights, the individual, society, liberty, democracy, equality, and solidarity will be critically interrogated, while ethnographic accounts will be used both to identify the limits of conventional analytical approaches, and to document the existence of vital forms of politics that such approaches either ignore or misunderstand.

The objective of this course is to give students an understanding of what international trade policy means for business leaders. To do this, students will have to understand the economic forces that determine the patterns and consequences of international trade. We will analyze trade policy tools used by governments (e.g., tariffs, subsidies and quotas), and examine the role of industry and politics at the domestic and global level in applying these tools. This course will combine lecture, case studies and group interaction.
