This option introduces the main schools of thinking about International Political Economy by focusing upon the patterns of evolution in the global political economy since the Second World War. Primary attention is given to the nature of the international regimes established at the end of World War II to regulate international exchanges of money, trade and commodities and to the extent of change now evident in those regimes. The role of non-state actors, and the growth of regionalism and globalisation in the contemporary world economy is also examined.
