Economic Policy and Political Science: Examining Armenian Students’ Understanding of the Intersection Between Two Fields
By Vardan Atoyan, Aghavni Hakobyan, Nane Movsisyan and Argam Artashyan, Armenian State University of Economics
This study investigates how economics students at the Armenian State University of Economics understand the relationship between political science and economic policy. Through a survey of final year undergraduates, the research reveals that students recognize the theoretical connection between the two fields but struggle to see how political science applies in future professional settings. Their views are shaped by limited exposure to public administration and predominantly state-centred interpretations of governance. The study highlights the need for interdisciplinary curricula, practical experiences, and case-based learning to better prepare graduates for navigating Armenia’s closely connected political and economic systems.
