Course Objectives | The objective of this course is to offer a basic analytical approach to the students, who do not necessarily have a prior theoretical background in this area, so that they can understand and follow the economic developments both in the World and Turkey. In that context, students will learn the essential economic concepts and be able to see how and where these concepts are utilized. Meanwhile, the students will be exposed to the economic approaches centered on those concepts and find out how these approaches deal with the current economic issues and globalization process. Another objective of this course is to understand the main strategies developed by the decision makers and policy makers at various levels facing global economic problem |
