Abstract
The primary goal of this paper is to illustrate how International Political Economy (IPE) can help understand the phenomenon of globalization. To fulfill this aim, the paper is organized as follows: it begins with a discussion on the nature, assumptions, areas of concerns and prevailing issues on International Political Economy and the phenomenon of globalization. To add, the varying views on globalization and the creation of an operational definition that encompasses the occurrence of globalization is also presented. Then, an extensive illustration on the three perspectives on IPE, namely mercantilism, liberalism and structuralism follows. These theoretical perspectives on IPE were used to critically examine the dynamics of globalization. Further, the arguments of these perspectives primarily suit the phenomenon of globalization. Then a concluding part will argue that IPE can be considered a framework to analyze global interactions and phenomena.
