Course Description

This Course is an examination of the political economy of the United States, which is both capitalist (the means of production are privately owned) and democratic (citizens compete for elected

offices). American political economy(APE) studies the relationship between politics and economics through a systematic exploration of power relations involved in economic production, distribution, exchange, consumption and the economic foundations of political life.

This course has two basic objectives: (1) to give the student an overview of how the American political economy works, and (2) to introduce the student to some key theories and analytical tools of the disciplines of economics and political science that can also be used to study other issues or other national political economies. We identify and analyze basic institutions and processes of the American political economy, showing how some of our more important economic and political institutions work and how they influence each other. Specifically, we discuss the role of private property rights and the price system in a free market economy and the radically different ways in which markets and governments decide how to produce and distribute goods and services. We outline the main ways in which various institutions of American government influence people’s economic behavior through available instruments of economic policy, and we look at how such policies are fought over, decided on and implemented. We also give attention to how well or how poorly the actual consequences of government economic policies tend to match the policy-makers’ original intentions and to how significant unintended consequences of policy often turn out to be. Because economic resources can be used to seek political power and influence, and because political influence is often used to acquire or protect economic advantages, the analysis of political behavior is also highly relevant to investigating whether capitalist economic institutions and liberal democratic political institutions are mutually compatible or fundamentally antagonistic in the long run. In what ways do American economic institutions and practices support and/or undermine political freedom and democracy? In what ways do the institutions and practices of American politics support and/or undermine the efficient functioning of a basically market economy

Teaching strategy/ or methodology.

American political economy (APE) is an interdisciplinary field. We will be incorporating theories and bodies of knowledge from various disciplines such as political science, economics, sociology, international trade and finance and law. Group discussion, analytical group assignments, case study methods which include panel presentations on the Blackboard forum to provide the students with an interesting learning experience in applying the literature concepts will be utilized. Videos depicting practical applications of the theories of American Political Economy will be used to enable the student to analyze recent world affairs by watching current streaming videos from major news providers.

Resources utilized/references, footnotes, bibliography

The individual (or group) is required to make a (Power Point) presentation for the research project. It should not exceed 15 minutes, followed by opening the floor for questions and feedback from the participants.

The project should be prepared in consultation with the instructor. It should be written in double space, typewritten form in accordance with the formats used in an acceptable term paper. You may consult for this purpose APA( American Physiological Association Standard Manual for Writing), or Kate L.Turabian, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Chicago, The University of Chicago Press, 1997.

Writing Standards: Written assignments must meet the requirements for the Standards for a “C” Paper (Contents, Organization, Style/Expression and Grammar/Mechanics), in accordance with The Writing Standard Document. Allow enough time for correction of English, spelling and typing errors. Students who need assistance with writing should go to the Academic Resource Center.

Writing Standards for a “C” Paper

Organization

The “C” paper has a discernible and logical plan. It has a focus, and the writer maintains the focus throughout the essay. The writer has unified the entire essay in support of the central idea, or thesis, and individual paragraphs in support of subordinate points. Some individual paragraphs, however, may be weak. The writer promotes coherence through the logical order of paragraphs and the use of some or of the following devices: thesis statement, topic sentences, opening and closing paragraphs, and transitions. The use of these devices may lack smoothness, but the writer has achieved an acceptable level of organization.

Content

The “C” paper fulfills the assignment, meeting all specified requirements, such as subject, organization, and length, and reflects the author’s awareness of audience and purpose. The paper presents a central idea supported by relevant material (facts, figures, examples, quotations, or other details). The reasoning is sound; arguments are supported with adequate evidence. Other points of view are acknowledged and responded to as appropriate. Sources of information are accurately presented and fully attributed.

Style / Expression

The “C” paper uses reasonable stylistic options (tone, word choice, sentence patterns) for its audience and purpose. As a rule, the paper has smooth transitions between paragraphs, although some transitions may be missing or ineffective. The meaning of sentences is clear, although some sentences may be awkward or there may be a lack of variety in sentence patterns. Nonetheless, sentence structure is generally correct, although it may show limited mastery of such elements as subordination, emphasis, sentence variety and length, and modifiers. The paper reflects current academic practices of language use established by professional associations such as the Modern Language Association and the American Psychological Association.

Grammar / Mechanics

The “C” paper follows the conventions of standard written U.S. English; thus, it is substantially free of errors in grammar, spelling, punctuation, and mechanics. What errors are present must not impede meaning nor overly distract the reader. The paper reflects current citation and documentation of sources as specified in relevant guidebooks.

5 – Group Discussion: This is an opportunity to enable each student to interact effectively and debate with the instructor and with his/her classmates on three current political issues. Each statement or response or rebut should not exceed three or four paragraphs (By Friday at 5:00 PM)
