WiSe 23/24: Divided States: The political economy of regional inequalities in the US
Jonas von Ciriacy-Wantrup
Kommentar
This course provides an overview of the political economy of intra-country inequality in the richest democracy in the world: the US. The objective is to explain why the distribution of wealth, income and opportunities varies so much between different regions within the United States. The course draws largely on comparative political economy, although perspectives from other disciplines - such as regional economics and economic geography - are brought in as appropriate. The course seeks to explain the root causes, determinants, and politics of regional inequalities in the US, with particular focus on understanding how institutions and policies
redistribute resources in different ways across regions and over time. Additionally, the impact of labour market institutions, the redistributive implications of age, gender and ethnic differences, the role of competing economic and political ideologies, and the way inequality has been affected by structural changes to the global economy will be discussed. Students that want to take this course should be willing to do the weekly readings and have a basic understanding of concepts and theories in political science, sociology, and economics.
