These agendas provide esteemed scholars with the opportunity to delve into their subjects in thought-provoking and visionary ways, charting the potential trajectories for future exploration.

Contributions from a diverse array of international experts come together in this cutting-edge Research Agenda, consolidating the most significant and emerging research in the field of international political economy (IPE). This comprehensive compilation aims to outline the new directions and promising pathways that lie ahead for the global political economy.

The book begins by delving into the intricate interplay between globalization and socioeconomic inequality, shedding light on how externally generated financial, health, and migration crises impact political economic systems across the globe. Chapters explore fundamental shifts in the nature of IPE, driven by technological advancements, power transitions, the geography of trade, the emergence of new foreign aid channels, and the prevalence of economic espionage. By reevaluating the future research agenda for IPE, the book challenges the underlying ideas and perspectives that shape the field's thinking and scholarship.

In a groundbreaking move, this innovative Research Agenda seeks to counter the traditional Western, white-male orientation of traditional IPE research by incorporating alternative perspectives from decolonial and feminist ecological thinkers. This inclusive approach ensures that a broader range of voices and ideas are heard, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of the international political economy.

This valuable resource will be of immense benefit to students, scholars, and policymakers alike who are deeply interested in shaping the future of the international political economy. By embracing diverse perspectives and challenging established norms, this agenda provides a roadmap for future research and policy interventions that promote equity, sustainability, and global well-being.
