Summary
See the story behind what's right in front of you. The MA Global Political Economy examines the world in real terms. You will work with world class global politics experts at the Political Economy Research Centre (PERC), and learn how to hold the world up to scrutiny.
Study the economy through a politics lens - The MA Global Political Economy will allow you to examine the political, sociological, and cultural underpinning of the global economy. You will gain an in-depth understanding of how the global economy is changing, what is driving ecological breakdown, global inequality, and the challenge of building a sustainable world.
-
This programme takes a uniquely interdisciplinary and critical perspective. With modules that cut across academic disciplines – from heterodox economics to cultural studies – you will explore different perspectives about the relationship between global capitalism, global finance, the power of economic ideas, ecological breakdown, and the possibilities for a different future.

You will be guided through the main scholarly conceptual debates in global political economy as well as the urgent issues of our age. This is the only political economy programme in the country with a core module on the Anthropocene –this is combined with another core module on the theory and history of global capitalism.

Goldsmiths is based in New Cross, a vibrant area in one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, just 10 minutes from London Bridge. This programme will also allow you to benefit from its location in a global city, home to major cultural, scientific, artistic, and political institutions, movements and NGOs that play world-leading roles in furthering political and economic knowledge, thought, and practice. You will join a series of job talks and masterclass workshops from insiders at policy Think Tanks, NGOs, and the private sector.
Make a learning community - We know that teaching is not a top-down process that only takes place in the seminar room. Instead, we strive to cultivate a community of learners and help you link up with programme alums, organise reading groups and film screenings, and put on student-run workshops and events on the topics that interest you.
