文档介绍：Politics of the Global Economy (GL 363)
Exam # 1 STUDY GUIDE Winter 2005-06
The exam will cover all material (readings and lectures) from the first part of the course
(through “Foreign Debt and Financial Crises”). The exam itself will consist of a mix of
objective and analytical question to include either a few short or one long essay question.
The following list of terms and concepts will offer you significant guidance in studying
for this exam. Keep in mind that this is a guide, not as an exhaustive list, although I
have tried to be thorough. All material from the course is fair game. For each you should be able to: (a) define them
(b) specify their significance in IPE; and (c) understand how they relate to each other (., how a change in
exchange rates might alter the balance of payments).
