We begin by examining the historical roots of the global political economy, from the rise of capitalism to the emergence of the modern nation-state. We then discuss the major theories that have been used to explain the global political economy, from liberalism and Marxism to realism and constructivism.

Next, we examine the institutions that govern the global political economy, such as the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank. We also discuss the role of non-state actors, such as corporations, NGOs, and social movements, in shaping the global economy.

Finally, we consider the challenges facing the global political economy, such as inequality, environmental degradation, and climate change. We also discuss the prospects for reform and the possibility of a more just and sustainable global economy.
