Political economy provides a powerful set of tools for understanding economic development. Addressing many of the world’s most important challenges - from reducing poverty and preventing conflict, to tackling climate change - requires understanding political power, how that power is constrained, how states acquire the capacity to implement policy, and how citizens hold governments accountable.
