Course Objectives: On completion of this course, students should have
Arrived at an informed understanding of how international political economy— economy —as a field of enquiry— enquiry —is conceptualised and theorised; Interpreted current processes associated with national political-economic development as well as economic and political globalization, the structural context in which these take place and their political, economic and social consequences; and Developed substantial analytical, interpretative, and written and oral presentational skills.
Course Organization and Methodology: There will be a three-hour three-hour class once a week for sixteen weeks, including a ‘housekeeping’ session that provides an introductory overview, plus a review session at the end of the semester. The course is divided into two basic parts: IPE theory(ies) and IPE key problems and/or issue-areas. For the first part of the course, the professor will make a lecture presentation to be followed by a general discussion involving all students. For the second part of the course, each student will make a seminar presentation to the class to be followed by a general discussion. Throughout the course, all students are expected to have read the core readings before coming to class and contribute to the general discussion. Basis for Grading: Grading: The assessment on this course has three components: Class participation/weekly issue memos on readings Seminar presentation Paper OR final examination
30% of grade 30% of grade 40% of grade
Each student will submit an ‘issue memo’ electronically before before coming to class. The ‘issue memos’—essentially memo s’—essentially think pieces that reflect a student’s own o wn intellectual engagement with the material that was read— read—may specify what is intriguing, interesting, or confusing in the material; take issue with some core idea or argument; or explore the ramifications of a particular argument. Assignment for seminar presentations will be done during the first meeting. If the student opts to write a paper, (s)he must first submit a paper concept for the professor’s approval. The subject matter of the paper may be on IPE theory or on an IPE issue area. (S)he may use his/her seminar presentation as take-off point for the paper. Guide to Readings A number of core texts are highlighted here. The other readings are PDF files and will be uploaded unto the Files section of the class e-group.

The Post-War International Political Economy: An Overview
This session offers a chronological and analytical account of the major developments in the international political economy since 1945. The purpose is to offer an historical framework in which to situate both theoretical approaches and substantive changes in the political and economic domains. In addition, a discussion of the emergence of International Political Economy (IPE) as one of the two sub-fields of international relations (IR) theory and its various theoretical approaches will be undertaken.

Week 3
Realism and Neo-Realism
This session begins the exploration of the various approaches to the study of international political economy by examining the school of realism. Realism has a long history both in the practice of dominant powers in the world system and in the academic genealogy of international relations. Intrinsic to the claims of realism is the idea the nation-states pursue policies of selfinterest in order to ensure their survival in an anarchic international system. Subsequently, the claims of neo-realism (developed through the ideas of hegemonic stability) will be examined.

Liberalism, Neoliberal institutionalism and the Washington Consensus
This session examines the background, key assumptions and arguments argum ents of classical liberalism and its modern variants (liberal internationalism, neo-liberal institutionalism, institutionalism , and neo-liberalism aka the aka the Washington Consensus). Liberal internationalism traces its roots back to the work of Kant who elaborated plans for a ‘perpetual peace’ that contains the seeds for more contemporary theories of the international political economy and world order, claiming that democratic states who engage in free trade are more stable internally and more peaceful in their international relations. Neo-liberal institutionalism proceeds from the view that growing complex interdependence is creating a qualitatively new world order, in which states have incentives to cooperate even in an anarchic world order. order . The Washington Consensus is the 10point economic policy orthodoxy promoted by multilateral financial institutions and the governments of the industrialized West.

Week 5
Historical Structuralism: Marxism, Dependency and World-Systems Theory
The session will examine the contribution of various theories th eories of historical structuralism. It begins by looking at Marxism as a theory of capitalism on a world scale and a critique of that process — an approach that has largely been marginalized in theories of international political economy. The key focus is on contemporary applications of Marxist theory to understanding the global political economy, especially the nature of crises, ‘globalisation’ and the changing role of the state. The session then studies two other historical structuralist theories —dependency and world-systems— world-systems —that owe something to the legacy of Marxism Marxism Required reading: Balaam &Veseth, IIPE, Chapter 4 or Cohn, GPE, Chapter 5.

Week 6-7
Critical Theory: Neo-Gramscianism and Social Constructivism
This session considers the emergence of two distinctive strands of critical international theory during the 80s and 90s. The first, inspired by b y the writings of the Italian Marxist, Antonio Gramsci, offers a theory of globalized transnational hegemony, institutionalized in the large MNCs, multilateral organizations and the most powerful capitalist states. The theory also posits the development of a counter-hegemonic response to these global changes. The second, social constructivism, argues that the characteristics of the international political economy are not simply given, but are structured by the behavior of international actors, while at the same time they also influence these (same) actors. In doing so, it emphasizes the impact of institutions, culture, identity, and norms alongside interests upon the behavior of actors.

PART II. IPE Issues and Problems The Political Economy of Production, Trade and International Finance (Class presentation by Ms. Alexandria BERGADO ) This session, which opens the part of the course that deals with IPE issues and problems, considers the extent to which capitalism has been undergoing a ‘global shift’ characterized by the spatial expansion of production, driven by foreign direct investments (FDI) and liberalized trade.

The Nation-State and Globalization (Class presentation by Mr. Salazar) The purpose of this session is to examine the ways in which state managers attempt to develop policy options in the face of increasing pressures from the international political economy. The assumption is that economic policy formation becomes increasingly difficult in the face of external pressures of international competitiveness and that policy adjustment becomes part of a continuous ‘two level game’ in which the divide between the international and the domestic dimensions of the policy process have become less significant over time.
