Please forward this email to interested students. Kingston University still has places open on its distinctive range of MA degrees for the autumn 2014 centred round political economy. Please see the links below and/or send an email to Paul Auerbach [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. The MA Economics (Political Economy) offers a singular opportunity to pursue economic analysis to MA standard using both standard and heterodox approaches. It covers neoclassical as well as Keynesian and Marxist theories. Topics covered include selfish versus social foundations of human behaviour, the reasons for and effects of changes in income distribution and efficiency versus instability in the working of financial markets. http://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate-course/economics-political-economy-ma/ The MA Political Economy gives the opportunity to study the recently emerging discipline of political economy. It offers an approach to economics that highlights issues of effective demand, social conflict and financial instability as features of modern capitalism. The course covers Neoclassical, Post Keynesian and Marxist theories and applies them to contemporary issues of austerity policy, neoliberalism, financialisation and globalisation. http://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate-course/political-economy-ma/ The MA Philosophy and Political Economy (PPE) is a significant and distinctive interdisciplinary offering building upon established programmes in the disciplines of philosophy, politics and economics and integrating them into a co-ordinated and multi-faceted programme. This MA deals with the great issues of the day – economic and social inequality, the nature of work and exploitation in the contemporary world, ecological issues, the legacy of imperialism, international conflict and trade. http://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate-course/philosophy-political-economy-ma/ The MA International Politics and Economics links politics, economics and globalisation. It provides both solid subject knowledge and transferable skills that are highly valued in the professional world. It gives an opportunity to obtain a background in the political and economic aspect of globalisation and build and develop skills in communicating politics and economics at an advanced level. http://www.kingston.ac.uk/postgraduate-course/international-politics-economics-ma/ Kingston is also a partner (along with the Berlin School of Economics and Law, Università degli studi di Torino, Université Paris 13 and the University of Witwatersrand) in the EPOG (Economic POlicies in the age of Globalisation) MA.
