Examine the causes of social inequality. Explore connections between politics, economics, and popular culture. Develop an historically grounded global perspective. Envision alternative economic systems and study the history of movements for change.
Political economy combines economics, history, politics, sociology, and philosophy. It asks who has what, who does what kinds of work, how did it get to be that way, and how it could be different. Political science deals with systems of government, and the analysis of political activity and behavior. While there is overlap, political economists focus on economic processes, their relation to power and public policy, and their influence on people's lives and social institutions while political scientists focus on the study of governments and how they work.
