Since 1970s the development of the International Political Economy (IPE) has gone through three major stages including the Politics of International Economic Relations (PIER), the International Political Economy,and the Global Political Economy (GPE). The main purpose of this article is to investigate the reasons for the transformation of this new academic discipline. The author also tries to distinguish different research agenda, approaches, and methodologies among various stages. To study these questions may help us clarify the relationship between IPE and other field of studies such as the ''International Economy'', the ''Political Economy'', and the ''International Relations''. The typical textbooks and relative articles of the IPE will be reviewed and analyzed in this study. Especially, the arguments and assumptions of Joan Spero's The Politics of International Economic Relations, 1977, Robert Gilpin's The Political Economy of International Relations, 1987, Susan Strange's State and Market: An Introduction to the International Political Economy, 1988, and Ronen Palan's Global Political Economy: Contemporary Theories, 2000 will be compared. |
