Political Economy and State Power

Political economy examines how political institutions, economic systems, and social relationships interact and influence each other. In the context of "Geographies of the State," it focuses on how state power is distributed and exercised across different regions and communities. This involves looking at how government policies and decisions impact local economies and social structures, and vice versa. Essentially, it explores the connections between where people live, the resources available to them, and the political decisions made by the state, highlighting the power dynamics that shape citizens' lives in various geographical contexts.
