The PhD Political Science – Comparative and International Political Economy Track at Central European University (CEU) focuses primarily on questions relating to the interconnectedness of social, political and economic realms with regards to domestic, comparative, and international economy.
The overlapping processes of globalization, macro-regional integration and changing relations between public authorities and private market actors have prompted scholars to rethink a number of key assumptions and categories typical of the post-war order, to elaborate theoretical explanations for new politico-economic phenomena, as well as to empirically test these theoretical propositions.
The Political Science – Comparative and International Political Economy Track at Central European University (CEU) seeks to attract students who are interested in those institutional and policy changes considered crucial in understanding this transformation; including but not limited to development, trade, international organizations, labour market trends, finance and financialization, social inequalities, digital social transformation, nationalism, global value and wealth chains, state capitalism, environmental crisis, global health, feminism, regional integration, etc.
