IPPD 0613 - The Politics of Inequality


Credits: 3
This seminar examines how inequality shapes politics and how politics shapes inequality, both in the advanced industrial countries and the developing world. The first half of the seminar will focus on a review of recent work on long run trends in inequality in the industrialized world, investigate the political factors that may have influenced these trends, and finally examine how changes in inequality have shaped the pattern of politics, with particular emphasis on the current US context. The second half of the course will focus on inequality in the developing world and its relationship to democracy, political violence, and economic development.
