Programme Overview
This MA provides both foundation level and advanced level training in the discipline of international political economy. It includes principal theories and theorists in the discipline, and a theoretical and empirical understanding of the role of states and markets in modern economic history and development. Graduates from the MA will acquire a better understanding of contemporary debates on globalisation and its transformatory effects on states, economies and societies in both advanced and developing countries.
This programme gives you the opportunity to explore key themes in contemporary international political economy, such as the growing tensions between the ‘globalising’ world economy, the traditional nation state and the persistence and causes of poverty. It is enhanced by the lively debates in this growing field of study, with direct contemporary relevance.
