Welcome to the website for the Political Economy Institute at the University of Manchester. Launched in January 2007, PEI aims to advance a core agenda of revitalising and rehabilitating political economy as a field, developing a distinctively cross-disciplinary approach to its study and, on this basis, fostering innovative research into key issues of contemporary global concern.
Our efforts include developing a strong research and publishing agenda, building strong collaborative links through an international network of institutions and individuals, providing a unique MA degree in political economy and promoting first-class supervision of doctoral research in the field of political economy.
