Course objectives
This course aims to survey the development of world economy from the beginning of the last century to the present. The course is divided into two main blocks. The first one explores the development of world economy as a whole approximately from 1800 to the early 1990's. The second half of the course provides students with a detailed picture of the economic development after World War II both in the three major economic centres - the USA, Europe and Japan - and in developing countries, in Russia and in centrally planned economies. Relatively independent chapters then cover the development of the international monetary system, relevant international economic organisations as well as the economic development of Czechoslovakia (or the Czech Republic) from its establishment to the present. Students are supposed to have active knowledge of macroeconomics. Exam requirements: compulsory reading. Examination: written.
