"Dossier ""State of the Art in International Political Economy in Latin America"""

Abstract

International Political Economy (IPE) in Latin America is currently an emerging field of International Relations that studies the interactions between economics and politics at the international level and their roots at the national level. Although during the fifties and sixties of the last century, the study of PPE reached a moment of splendor in the region thanks to the contributions of economic structuralism and the Dependency Theory, it was temporarily shelved due to to profound political and academic transformations in the region. This is evidenced in the absence of research and thought centers dedicated to the study of PID, the absence of textbooks and articles published in Spanish and / or Portuguese, and the scarce communication and collaboration between researchers working on these issues. The result has been limited participation by the region in global discussions.
