Course Content / Plan | | First, this course will learn the historical development of modern economic system in the West. Western economy started to grow rapidly and overwhelmed other regions' economies from the eighteenth century. Course participants will study how the rise of Western economy transformed the development pattern of world economy in the past few centuries.
Second, the course will focus on Industrial Revolution to understand the historical innovation of modern economic system. Industrial Revolution that took place in eighteenth-century England ignited the dramatic improvement in efficiency of manufacturing industry. Industrialization spread across the globe and became fundamental factor for economic growth in the past two centuries. Participants will learn the origins of Industrial Revolution and its effect on global economic development.
Third, we will pay attention to international trade as driving force for economic globalization. Since the nineteenth century, international trade grew at an unprecedented rate based on global industrialization. Every country came to participate in international trade development, and consequently, international division of labour system was established across the globe. We will study the long-term growth of international trade and key features of its impact on globalization.
Fourth, the course will focus on the historical changes of living standards in some regions to comprehend the effect of industrial economic growth. Since Industrial Revolution, our living standards were dramatically enhanced by innovative production system and growing international trade. Meanwhile, the economic inequality has been increasing between developed and underdeveloped countries. Participants will understand how industrialization and globalization led to the improvement and disparity of living standard across the globe from historical perspective. |
