Politics and Money

Will start for the first time in the summer term 2025

This specialization will be taught in English

The world we live in is complicated and uncertain. Geopolitical tensions between countries dominate the news. Within countries, populist movements threaten to undermine democracy. What connects all of these issues? Politics and Money

We need to understand the interaction between politics and money to make sense of the trade war between the US and China, economic sanctions on Russia because of Ukraine, and resistance against Chinese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into the EU. Similarly, we must analyze the interplay between politics and money to understand how inequality, automatization, and credit crunches relate to populism and political scandals. 

The specialization Politics and Money helps you put all these events in context. We explore how citizens’ voting, firms’ lobbying, and governments' geopolitics shape our world.
