Course description
Qualification Master of Arts
Field of
Economics, commerce, management and accounting
study
The world has become smaller. Markets operate in Spartan competition and states and
Course
societies face the endeavour to cope with on-going globalization. IPE addresses these
summary
marvels.
International Political Economy is one of six tracks within the Master's degree in International
Relations. Since the 1970s, IPE has developed as an independent sub-discipline in
International Relations (IR). It focuses on the interaction between states, markets and
societies. Its primary aim is to increase our understanding of the dynamics of these three
Course building blocks. In doing so, IPE is interdisciplinary by its self-same nature. Why is it
description fascinating coming to grips with a globalizing world economy? While states cannot be
conceived of as homogenous actors that perfectly take care of the preferences of all of their
citizens, one can nevertheless reveal degrees of freedom for negotiation about regional and
international cooperation in the fields of trade, production, finance and knowledge. It is a
scholarly exertion to reveal the complicated nexus of states, markets and societies.
Because the programme starts in September as well as in February, all courses are offered
both in the first and in the second semester. Examples of Research Seminars International
Study
Political Economy are: 'Multinational Corporations', 'Political Economy of Migration', 'Ethics
subjects
in Global Political Economy'. The topics of the research seminars differ every year, so these
are merely examples.
