International Political Economy (IPE)

International Political Economy (IPE) explores how politics and economics intersect on the global stage. It examines how governments, institutions, and political forces influence trade, finance, and economic policies between countries. IPE helps us understand why nations adopt certain economic strategies, how international organizations like the WTO or IMF operate, and the political debates surrounding globalization, taxation, and economic inequality. Essentially, it looks at the power dynamics, policies, and interests that shape the world's economic interactions and how they affect countries' development and stability.
