MA International Political Economy (Standard) in Manchester United Kingdom | The University of Manchester

International Political Economy, also known as Global Political Economy, represents a dynamic and expanding academic discipline. This field traditionally examines the interplay between political systems and economic forces, bridging national and international perspectives within the context of globalization. In recent years, it has emerged as a particularly fruitful area for critical social science investigations into urgent worldwide challenges, including: global poverty, wealth disparities, gender dynamics, financial instability, and ecological concerns. Manchester's MA program in International Political Economy aligns with the expertise of our Politics faculty, offering students comprehensive exposure to both mainstream and alternative theoretical frameworks while exploring contemporary globalization issues through two mandatory core modules.
