3 good reasons to study International Political Economy at Salford:
- Find out how our world works by looking at international organisations
- Discover why poverty, dependence, and development haven’t become ‘history’
- Understand how global actors contribute to the decision-making that affects the everyday lives of citizens
International Political Economy is not an 'economics' module, this module covers a wide range of subjects including the role of international organisations, as well as states, in global governance; poverty, dependence, and development; productive and reproductive labour; labour markets and globalisation and rising inequality in the 'developed' world. You will analyse specific case studies to look at how people are affected by the global power dynamics in the current global political economy, and make links with the study of transnational relationships across various actors.
