Journal of International Political Economy and Strategy (JIPES) is an international peer-reviewed academic journal dedicated to advancing research at the intersection of international political economy, economic policy, global business, international finance, and strategic studies. The journal provides a global scholarly platform for academics, researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to examine how states, markets, firms, international institutions, and societies interact within an increasingly interconnected and uncertain global economy. JIPES aims to publish theoretically informed, empirically rigorous, and policy-relevant research that contributes to a deeper understanding of the political, economic, institutional, and strategic forces shaping international and regional developments. Particular attention is given to research addressing cross-border economic relations, global governance, geopolitical and geo-economic competition, international trade and investment, financial systems, development, institutional transformation, and strategic responses to changes in the global political economy. The journal welcomes studies from all regions of the world and strongly encourages comparative, cross-country, regional, and international perspectives. Research focusing on individual countries is also welcomed when it demonstrates clear relevance to broader international political economy debates, comparative scholarship, global policy challenges, or strategic implications beyond the specific national context. JIPES promotes interdisciplinary scholarship connecting economics, political science, international relations, public policy, business, finance, development studies, and strategic management. Both established and emerging perspectives are welcomed where they contribute to understanding contemporary transformations in the international political and economic system.
