World Economy Working Group The primary aim of the IIPPE World Economy Working Group is to promote intellectual and practical exchange between scholars and activists from different continents. Many of the most pressing questions concerning the current political economy conjuncture cannot be understood by looking at countries and regions in isolation, but necessarily require an international perspective. The dynamic logic of capital accumulation, in fact, is not restricted to one region or country, but is global. Globalization is materialized in the flows of different forms of capital led by big corporations’ accumulation strategies in different countries. These processes disorganize and reorganize international relations by imposing their economic policies and ideologies. At the same time, these movements create new contradictions, which manifest themselves in national and international economic, social and political crises. IIPPE offers an extraordinary opportunity to promote a very much needed international collaboration and scholarship. The World Economy WG seeks further to enhance IIPPE international remit. It seeks to do so by providing a context specifically for International Political Economy (IPE) debate. IPE is a dynamic and growing discipline in British and US academia. IPE is also central in Latin American universities, where political economy research has always paid great attention to theories of the world economy (Latin American structuralism, dependency theory, unequal exchange...). The World Economy WG brings together scholars coming from different national and theoretical traditions. Starting from a rejection of the problems of methodological nationalism and Eurocentrism, the WG’s aims are: •   Promoting Marxist and heterodox scholarship that investigates the interactions between national, regional and global political economy dynamics, and the links between economics and politics at the world market level. •   Promoting theoretically informed debate on the world economy: how different political economy currents address the international (Marxism, theories of imperialism, dependency theory, Uneven and Combined Development etc.) •   Contributing theoretically and practically to the internationalisation of IIPPE by promoting seminars, workshops, research funding applications, research exchange, joint publications etc. •   In accordance with IIPPE’s goals, contributing to progressive policy and political debates, and transformative action nationally, regionally and internationally. •   Collaborating with other political economy associations (SEPLA, SEP, etc.).
