Led by Professor Ugo Panizza, head of the International Economics Department, “Economic Globalization and Fragmentation” will offer participants a comprehensive understanding of global economic dynamics, through a combination of expert lectures, interactive discussions, and field visits. 

The appeal of this module lies in addressing pressing global issues—such as financial integration, geoeconomics, and debt sustainability in developing countries—while equipping participants with the tools to navigate complex global economic challenges.
