International Political Economy (MA)

International Political Economy (IPE) is a field of enquiry concerned with the distribution of power, wealth and agency in a rapidly changing and contested global context. With such a diverse range of interest, IPE encourages a plural and often eclectic approach to study. IPE builds on the scholarly legacy of classical political economists but is oriented to the international political context of globalisation. IPE is concerned with the connections between politics and economics within the contemporary world order. Since the pioneering work of scholars such as Susan Strange in the early 1970s, IPE has grown into a large and buoyant field of study. PAIS can boast one of the largest concentrations of IPE scholars anywhere in the world.
