[edit] academic IPE departments / books?

Would someone pls add pointers here to academic departments in "IPE", or to books written in that specific subject area -- not books which might be slotted in, but which identified themselves with "IPE".

The article makes "IPE" sound like a very good idea, but also Establishment, and I'd like to know how much and by whom it was / is Established. The lists seem to be serendipitous collections of various writers in affiliated subject-areas, but the article offers no evidence that they ever were "together" on anything.

I plan on doing this if I ever get around to it. My school (The University of Puget Sound) has a very popular IPE major and several of our professors have written the authorative textbooks on the subject. --Liface 02:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expand this section

This section must be expanded. This article should include,

1. A comparison between realist (mercantilist), liberal, and Marxist perceptions of IPE and general policy recommendations from each tradition. 2. A brief history of economic thought that influenced the field today. 3. An expanded overview of world economic history that influenced IPE studies today.

Comment: Would be interesting to compare the mercantilist, liberal and Marxist view with that of the social-contructivist view. It would also be interesting to draw up the differences between the American and the European schools of IPE (see http://www.princeton.edu/%7Epcglobal/conferences/IPES/papers/cohen_F500_plenary.pdf).
