The subject of International Political Overall economy (IPE) becomes progressively more important in the world of the 21st century. The technological improvement in logistics and communication permits people to develop better products, inform potential customers about such products and disperse them to nearly every place in the entire world.

IPE tries to analyze and theorize the dynamics behind those advancements, to provide a framework which clarifies and permits predictions on the bond between politics and economics on an international scale.
