IR555 is part of the research-training programme for all research students working in the area of international political economy: the relationship between states and markets in a global context. The workshop's principal objective is to foster intellectual exchange by showcasing new and innovative work from leading and emerging scholars.  The workshop will provide a forum in which research students can present their work, discuss the theoretical and methodological problems involved, discuss common challenges in conducting research in this area and obtain feedback on their work.   Research in this area works at multiple levels of analysis and draws on an array of theoretic and methodological approaches from several disciplines. Both historical and contemporary questions are addressed across a range of issues including: trade, foreign investment, migration, global environmental politics, international economic organisations,  economic statecraft, international finance,  international governance of emerging technologies, and historical political economy.

A minimum of 6 hours of seminars in the AT. A minimum of 6 hours of seminars in the WT.  Some of these may be delivered online.

This course is not assessed. However, attendance of Research Cluster Workshop is compulsory and will be monitored: at least 80% attendance is expected.
