The International Programme in Politics and Economics (IPPE) at University West is an open creative interdisciplinary thinking space – exploring the intersections between politics and economics in multiple issue areas and diverse sites across different world regions. IPPE aims to highlight that social, political, and economic forces are not only local and national in scope but also regional and global. IPPE is often concerned with linking academic enquiry with policy and other practices, and the programme’s vision is provoked by “real world” situations and a wish to produce knowledge that contributes to a better understanding of change over time. In short, IPPE is intellectually pluralist and is not a degree programme with a single line of aims, questions, theories, and methods but more a conversation and crossfertilisation among diverse approaches.
