Featuring academics from the International Relations Department at the LSE, ‘Aspects of IR: International Political Economy’ is a short film about the study of international political economy, particularly at the LSE.

The film looks at what we study, and why, and also at the major themes in IPE, such as the financial crisis, climate change and globalisation of markets. It debates how IPE fits into IR, and the rewards and value of studying IPE.

  1. International Political Economy (IPE) examines the intricate interplay between politics and economics on a global scale, shedding light on how power, wealth, and resources are distributed and contested among nations. It’s a field that explores the dynamics of trade, finance, development, and globalization while revealing how these processes shape and are shaped by political interests and ideologies.

    In today’s interconnected world, IPE helps us understand critical issues such as economic inequality, trade wars, and the influence of multinational corporations. It highlights how policies in one country can have ripple effects across the globe, influencing everything from currency stability to labor markets.

    Moreover, IPE emphasizes the role of institutions like the IMF, WTO, and World Bank in shaping the rules of global economic engagement. While these institutions aim to promote cooperation and growth, they also face criticism for reinforcing existing power structures and marginalizing developing nations.

    Ultimately, IPE reminds us that economic policies are never just about numbers they are about people, power, and the pursuit of fairness in a world of competing interests. Understanding IPE is essential for building a more equitable and sustainable global economy.

  3. IPE is an approach and study that combines both political factors and economic forces on the international stage; a much grander scale of what Political Economy does domestically. To some extent, would it be fair to suggest Political Economy on its own cannot be comprehensively understood without looking at the international forces and events that impact domestic markets, domestic politics, and domestic political economy?

  4. How does Planned Obsolescence affect markets? Ask that of an economist.
    I asked a PhD economist from the University of Chicago to explain how an automobile engine worked. He couldn't even start.

    But economists do not talk about the annual depreciation of automobiles. Nitwits!
