The global economy is reshaping all aspects of society. This profoundly affects policy, the environment and social inequalities. The study of global political economy offers innovative perspectives on these transformations and the power struggles underlying them.
You’ll study in one of the largest departments of International Relations in Europe, with a long tradition of scholarship in the field.
This MA explores social and political aspects of economic shifts, reflecting on innovative practices and policies that enable change. You’ll gain novel perspectives on:
neoliberalism and alternatives
financial crises, debt and austerity
rising powers and global governance
development and inequality
multinational corporations.
