Global Political Economy brings together professors and courses from history, economics, sociology, political studies and anthropology to help you develop the interdisciplinary perspective, skills and critical thinking necessary to understand and act upon pressing contemporary social problems.
Economists, political scientists, historians, sociologists and anthropologists all have distinct ways of seeing the world, each offering unique, sometimes competing, sometimes complementary explanations for why the world is as it is. The interdisciplinary nature of the GPE program exposes you to all of these ways of seeing—helping you learn how to bridge these perspectives to gain a deeper understanding of our increasingly complex world.
