Class description
Description. This seminar will review key issues in contemporary IPE scholarship. We will focus on topics that are theoretically and empirically interesting, and have attracted scholarly attention. Instead of focusing on the classics, we will review the recent scholarship that has appeared in top political science/IR journals as well as in economics and sociology journals. This exposure should give you a sense of the trajectory of the IPE field. I hope this seminar will help you develop ideas for research paper(s), and perhaps for your dissertation.
