Over the last few years I resumed teaching the international economics sequence of courses in the departments of economics and business administration at the graduate and advanced undergraduate levels. This includes cpmbinations of international finance, economic integration and European economy.
My objective has been that of selecting from the 3 volumes of the Handbook of International Economics the most appropriate readings on the finance side and attempting to show the strong link with macroeconomics.
The titles of the courses have been:

The approach followed in these courses is one of open-economy macroeconomics with an emphasis on policy-making institutions in the fiscal and monetary areas. It therefore stresses the management of  international interdependence through various forms of cooperation and integration among nation-states. The contradictory pressures of globalization of businesses and accountability to citizens are identified. Case studies of countries who have managed to adjust to these pressures are presented, especially in Europe.
