The course examines the economic importance of politics in Australia and elsewhere. Literature on the institutional determinants of economic performance will be presented in the context of the key institutions of economic policy advice and key economic policy debates. Students will be provided with an empirical background that will allow evaluation of conflicts over economic management and industrial restructuring and 'new' forms of decision making, as well as associated conceptual controversies in political economy and state theory. -- Course Website
