Economic Trends

Introduction to Political Economy: Institutions and Rational ChoiceAssessment BriefThe pattern of assessment for this module is:Review of two articles in 1,000 words (500 words each review, +/- 10%). 30Review of two articles in 1,000 wordsYou are required to select two papers a write short review on each in a total of 1,000 words. The submission should focus on reviewing the articles and not summarizing them. The review can include the following:· What do you think the key argument in the paper was? Was it convincing?· What was the main methodology used in the paper? Was it clear?· What were the parts you found most interesting in the paper, and why?· Do you agree with the arguments of the paper? Why/why not?· How does the paper fit with the module, and Political Economy more broadly? What topics does it take further, and how?· Can you use the arguments in the paper to explain current political/economic trends and events?· Are the ideas in the paper are applicable to other contexts beyond political economy?These are just some suggestions, you should not attempt to do all of these in 1,000 words for two articles. Please see the marking criteria below on what makes a good article review, but I’ll also be happy to discuss during feedback and support hours. Just to reiterate, there is no need to include a summary of the paper.Please note that the two reviews should be submitted via Turnitin in a single file. The length of the two reviews should add up to 1,000 words (+/-10%), and they should be of approximately equal length.Articles you can choose from:· Pierson, Paul (1996): The New Politics of the Welfare State. World Politics 48(2): 143-179.· Swank, Duane (2016) The new political economy of taxation in the developing world.
