This simple idea that economics and politics powerfully interact with each other has since the early 1970s spurred the development of a field of both political science and economics, i.e., international political economy (IPE). This paper reviews a selection of the most influential literature on two of the most important sets of questions at the heart of IPE: 1) What is the nature of the relationship between politics and economics, and how is that relationship properly characterized? The statist, liberal economic, and leftist schools of thought have contended to explain how the IPE really works. 2) What should be the agenda of IPE for the twenty-first century? A recasting of the major theories is necessary to bring them in line with the changed realities of the post-Cold War, globalized world. The field of IPE needs a major reworking to improve its explanatory power and policy prescription capacity. This can begin with recognition of ample opportunities for convergence among the three major theoretical approaches that have dominated IPE from the beginning.}, pages = {135--150}, title = {The Fight for Wealth and Power : A Review of International Political Economy at Forty (Part 1)}, volume = {89}, year = {2009} }
