| International Political Economy (IPE) is very much a dynamic outlook or an approach to understanding something rather than a strict discipline. Rooted in history and philosophy, IPE offers us the opportunity to approach a number of subjects and issues from a multidisciplinary perspective. IPE draws upon the interconnections between historical, political, economic, and sociological phenomena resulting in more complex and accurate interpretations and explanations of international and global events and behavior. IPE attempts to understand the world of human interaction in a comprehensive fashion. This is a very ambitious undertaking, but a necessary one for the people who live in the wolrd and for those who will have to deal with its economic, political, and social problems. This course is a firest step twoard this important goal. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
