Work
Political Economy
Political economy refers to the interdisciplinary study of how economic theories, markets, and resource distribution relate to political structures, governance, and social power. The term historically encompassed what is now called economics, and remains central to understanding policy formation, international trade, development, inequality, and the role of states versus markets. Scholars in this field analyze how political decisions affect economic outcomes and how economic conditions influence political behavior, institutions, and conflict. Major subfields include comparative political economy, international political economy, and political economy of development, drawing from economics, political science, sociology, and history. more
