Subject matter
The program has four parts. First, of an introductory nature, it addresses epistemological and methodological issues by looking at the identification and appreciation of the latest trends and current perspectives within the framework of economic and social history. The second studies the ´heavy trends´ of large space economies, encompassing the perception of the characteristics related to the formation of the contemporary economy from a planetary perspective, taking into account the process of internationalization / globalization / globalization, the transformations that occurred following the end of the Cold War and the new realities marked by the impact of emerging economies. The third is dedicated to the study of the main conjunctures that marked the world economy, and especially the European economy, throughout the twentieth century, from the Belle Époque to the crisis of 2009. Fourth, it focuses on current issues of circular economy and sustainability.
