International Political Economy Research Group

Description

The International Political Economy Research Group hosts interdisciplinary research activities undertaken by academic staff and postgraduates mainly based within Politics and International Relations with a research interest and expertise on the global political economy. Our members' work is internationally recognised, as illustrated by the various research grants we have obtained (e.g. European Research Council, ESRC) and the national and international dissemination of our research expertise (e.g., evidence at House of Commons, advisory roles in international organisations, numerous public round tables).

Key Research Themes:

  • International investment law
  • Finance
  • Debt
  • The power of economic ideas
  • Europe, Latin America, and India

 

Research Group Activities:

The IPE research group is geared towards discussing work-in-progress by PhD students, academic visitors and members of staff at Edinburgh whose research focuses on the global political economy. Graduate students in research degrees, fellows and colleagues whose research is related to IPE are warmly invited to join. We are particularly good at hothousing work-in-progress, ranging from journal articles, to book proposals and grant applications. Over the years, our sessions have supported publications in some of the top journals of the discipline (e.g., Review of International Political Economy, World Politics), as well monographs (e.g., Oxford University Press, Stanford University Press) and successful bids for research funding (e.g., British Academy Postdocs, ERC, ESRC).
