About International Political Economy (IPEG)

IPEG is a working group (see BISA Working Group Guidance). The main purpose of IPEG is to bring together scholars and students with an interest in the broad field of International Political Economy (IPE). IPEG members  run workshops and events and organise and participate in panels at the BISA annual conferences each year. We also run an active mailing list which can be subscribed to at this link.

In accordance with BISA Working Group Guidance, conveners are selected by appointment.
