A Powerhouse for Research: Economics and Politics for Development
ECONOMICS & POLITICS FOR DEVELOPMENT
Truly Self-Organising Capitalism?
At the Institute for Political Economy and Development (IPEAD), we critically examine the underlying structures and dynamics that drive economic and political systems. Our research shed light on how institutional forces, power asymmetries, and radical economic theories intersect to shape global development. Our long-term mission is to uncover alternative pathways for sustainable and inclusive growth by dissecting the complex mechanisms behind economic inequality and political influence.
ECONOMY
At the Institute for Political Economy and Development (IPEAD), "Economy" is not seen as a neutral, self-organising system but as a dynamic arena shaped by institutional forces, political power, and social struggles.
We critically explore how economic structures reinforce inequality and seek alternative frameworks for sustainable, inclusive development.
Our research challenges conventional market theories, emphasizing that true economic progress emerges from intentional policies and radical rethinking, not simply from the illusion of spontaneous order.
