Students study how crises, conflict and inequality affect economies, what trade, markets and politics contribute to sustainable development, and how economic data can inform policy.

Admission is by open admission (zulassungsfrei) with application through the university application procedure. The course is offered by Ruhr-Universität Bochum in North Rhine-Westphalia.
