  1. Different Perspectives on Political Economy André Broome University of Birmingham

  2. Overview… • The Five Ss: Structure, Style, Scope, Scale, and Students • Designing Your Teaching Strategy • The Case Against Groupthink and Gangs in IPE

  3. Structure • Theory first? OR • Theory-laden? • Where does IPE history start? AND • What is contemporary IPE?

  4. Style • Chronology? • Issues? • Actors? OR • Idiosyncratic? OR • An idiot’s guide?

  5. Scope • What topics should be included / excluded? • What are the limits of the IPE subject matter? • How should the study of IPE be defined for students?

  6. Scale • Sub-national • National • Regional • International • Transnational • Global • All of the above?[Depth versus breadth]

  7. Students • Coping with complexity: “Economics is hard...” “...securitization is stupid!” • Motivating reading: “When I get a little money I buy books; and if any is left I buy food and clothes...”

  8. Designing Your Teaching Strategy • IPE degree structure and course provision • Your research identity and research interests • Your department’s research strengths in IPE • Hot issues (not Will & Kate) • Student feedback (keep a manifesto) • New technologies (supplements not substitutes) • Track your progress

  9. The Case Against Groupthink and Gangs in IPE • The importance of diversity • Theories as tools for understanding, not cookie–cutter conclusions • Shaping students to be independent thinkers not disciples
