BA in International Political Economy (Honours) in St. Catharines Canada | Brock University

The Honours BA in International Political Economy enables students to integrate Economics and Political Science studies, gaining insights into globalization's dynamics and impacts.

Political economy examines, through multiple viewpoints, how economic factors interact with political systems and structures, especially the connection between governmental bodies and market forces. Key political economy issues now frequently cross national borders due to three interconnected trends: economic activities like manufacturing, financial operations, and commerce increasingly operate beyond traditional state boundaries; advancements in communication technologies and cultural exchanges have amplified globalization's effects; in this environment, crucial political matters concerning resource allocation and authority are expanding internationally, with global influences now competing with domestic factors in shaping national policies.
