Summary
The biggest challenges facing society are global in scale. There is a need for skilled researchers in international politics and the social sciences more generally to find solutions.
International Political Economy, or Global Political Economy, is a vibrant and rapidly growing field of study. It is an especially productive field for critical research into pressing global issues such as world poverty, inequality, and economic and environmental crises.
Our MA in International Political Economy looks at the connections between politics and economics at the national and global levels under the conditions of globalisation. You will be introduced to a range of core orthodox and critical theories, while also developing skills in research design.
You’ll also be able to tailor your course to fit your interests, exploring subjects such as:
-
The Politics of Money and Finance;
-
Critical Environmental Politics;
-
Gender in Comparative Politics;
-
Chinese Ethnic Politics;
-
Politics and Data Science.
Through the course, you will develop subject area expertise as well as highly transferrable skills such as research, critical inquiry, and writing and communication skills, setting you up for multiple career paths in the public, private, or third sectors. You will also be well-placed to continue developing and using your research expertise, either professionally or in PhD study.
