Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this module, students will have acquired a profound comprehension of both the theoretical underpinnings and thematic intricacies within the realm of international political economy (IPE). By the end of the term, students should have an in-depth understanding of how international political economy affects international relations from the perspective of the positivist, American, school. After a brief recap of the actors and approaches in IPE, we’ll look closely at how the legacy of Bretton Woods has shaped the current global economic order. We’ll conclude the term by examining a number of current “challenges” to the governance of the global economic order, including the issue of continued underdevelopment and global poverty, Trumpism and Brexit, the rise of the BRICs, global environmental change and COVID-19.
