International Political Economy research group focuses on the examination of contemporary socioeconomic and political dynamics of crisis and limitations of European and global order. The research group is characterised by its analytical and methodological pluralism, which encompasses both qualitative and quantitative methods, and with strong emphasis placed on the dialogue between mainstream and critical traditions in the field of IPE.
Our researcher and scholarship explores:
- The role of finance (or ‘financialisation’) in today’s political economy
- The origin, functions and shortcomings of European Monetary and Economic Union
- How globalisation influences statecraft and public policy choices
- How power is configured at a global scale and how it materialises as flows of people (migration), money, goods and services.

Research in the global context
Whereas the research group has a strong core of researchers focusing on Europe and its near abroad, some of its members broaden its geographical scope to encompass rising powers such as India, Brazil and China, allowing the research group as a whole to provide a genuinely global perspective on the current predicament of the global political economy.
The Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence on ‘Europe and the World’, currently chaired by a member of the IPE research group, further witnesses the effort to contextualise the multiple crises affecting Europe within global context.
