The aim of this course is to explore the relative economic competitiveness of the EU and the United States, and how national policies affect the commercial success and prosperity of these two societies. In this context, the potential and probability of a US-EU TTIP Agreement will be discussed. Given the significant impact and tenuous viability of Western social welfare models on the economic performance of selected economies, we will also examine various alternative ideas to the models in place today.
A broader and deeper understanding of the interaction between public policy and private sector decision-making will prepare tomorrow’s strategic thinkers to operate more effectively on a global scale.
