What can be gained from the interface between International Political Economy (IPE), International Relations, Global Politics and Post-Colonial Theory?

How do macro-level theories contribute to our knowledge of proc- esses of globalization, inequality and marginalization and how do these inform case and variable oriented approaches in research?

The speakers in this 2-day IPE-seminar have all published recent books in IPE that interrogate North-South relations in different and provocative ways.

Whether considering institutional change, state relations, standardization and rule making, or governance between discourses and people, IPE shapes important questions.

But it also must be informed by other critical perspectives if it is to maintain the ability to ana- lyze the ongoing processes of globalization, its actors and implications.
