Overview
The Network for a New Political Economy (N2PE) aims to rethink political economy and develop an alternative intellectual paradigm to neoliberalism. N2PE was launched by an interdisciplinary group of faculty and students at the University of California, Berkeley. The roots of the new paradigm reside in ongoing research in social science departments such as economics, political science, sociology, and history, as well as professional schools such as business, law, and public policy. The network fosters an intellectual conversation among faculty and students across these units and encourages them to frame their insights for public engagement and policy relevance. It facilitates collective deliberation at Berkeley and beyond on how political economy should be studied and taught, as well as how new perspectives on political economy can be applied to broad public debates and pressing policy problems.
