Overview
Module aims and purpose
This module is an introduction to International Political Economy (IPE), which focuses on the interaction between states and markets, and between winners and losers, at the domestic and international levels. The module covers the major theoretical approaches to IPE and applies them to study a range of substantive topics, such as international trade and finance, development, the effects of globalisation on the welfare state and the environment, and the use of economic sanctions.聽
Module learning outcomes
By the end of the module, it is expected that students will be able to:
- Show knowledge of the major competing approaches to IPE
- Demonstrate an understanding of academic work on the interaction between political and economic factors in international relations
- Reason critically and independently about theoretical and empirical aspects of IPE
- Use appropriate data to support their arguments
- Convey their ideas effectively in an audio-annotated Powerpoint presentation
- Advance their wider skills of critical analysis, and their ability to articulate their ideas orally and in writing

Structure
Teaching and learning methods
The module is taught in a 鈥渇lipped classroom鈥 format, through a series of 10 online screencast lectures and 11 face-to-face seminars. Each lecture introduces a separate topic, while seminars are structured around the audio-annotated Powerpoint debate presentations and allow students to deepen their knowledge and to apply what they have learnt.聽
There will also be a revision session when we will meet to discuss and develop students鈥 ideas in preparation for the exam.聽

At least 17 hours of scheduled teaching and learning activities will be delivered in person, with the remaining hours for scheduled and self-scheduled teaching and learning activities delivered either in person or online.

- the mark awarded due to the imposition of the penalty shall not fall below the threshold pass mark, namely 40% in the case of modules at Levels 4-6 (i.e. undergraduate modules for Parts 1-3) and 50% in the case of Level 7 modules offered as part of an Integrated Masters or taught postgraduate degree programme;
- where the piece of work is awarded a mark below the threshold pass mark prior to any penalty being imposed, and is submitted up to three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline), no penalty shall be imposed;
- where the piece of work is submitted more than three working days after the original deadline (or any formally agreed extension to the deadline): a mark of zero will be recorded.
Assessments marked Pass/Fail
