!!!! There could be typos!!!!!! She does change up the second part of the lectures so if you are not following in 2023/2024, then the first 6 are more useful. For the second part the readings are important, I don’t have those though.

This is the complete summary for GPE (International Studies, Year 2). It includes lecture notes, reading notes, lecturer's comments and personal remarks. I got a 9.9 for the final exam, so I believe this summary really covers what is necessary for you to know to pass the exam! So, if you're just fed up with Econ or simply don't have the time, this might help. :) Please note that this summary does not extensively cover the textbook readings, but it does cover the other assigned readings.
