Our Goals

GPEP is grounded in three pillars: Developing New Ideas, Creating a Scholarly Infrastructure, and Disseminating the New Scholarship

Pillar I: Generating Ideas for Change

GPEP seeks to develop scholarship that goes beyond the traditional neo-liberal view of globalization. All of our programming has at its core the development and nurturing of alternative viewpoints and perspectives that better grapple with the tensions that arise from open markets, putting society back at the center of the global political economy.

Pillar II: Creating a Scholarly Infrastructure

A critical second goal has been to create incentives for the next generation of researchers to take up a broader set of questions around markets. By providing material support, mentoring, and a network of other emerging scholars to demonstrate the professional success that can come from forging new paths in international and comparative political economy, we have laid a foundation to help scholars meet the challenges of the 21^st century global economy.

Pillar III: Disseminating a New Model of the Market

Finally, we view it as crucial to disseminate GPEP research into the broader policy community in the US and beyond. In addition to nurturing new ideas among the next generation of scholars, we also train academics to push these new insights into decision-maker circles and broader public debates.
