Overview

The Political Economy and Political Science programme at the Evergreen State College combines economics, history, politics, sociology, ecology, education, and media studies. It asks who has what, who does what kinds of work, how it got to be that way, and how it could be different.

Key Facts

You will focus on economic processes, their relation to power and public policy, and their influence on people's lives and social institutions. Using this lens, you'll explore the expansion of state power through surveillance and border militarization, the forces that drive foreign policy and war, and the root causes of forced migration in different parts of the world.

In these programmes, you will focus on social movements in the U.S and globally, such as:

Women's movements
Civil rights movements
Revolutionary movements
Environmental justice
Food systems
Climate change activism

Political economy programmes are often motivated by current events, but always keep history in mind. History, in turn, is always approached in dynamic terms. You won't study empire as a transhistorical concept, you'll study imperialism as a process in the context of the historical development of capitalism. You'll study mainstream macro and microeconomics with historical context and a critical eye, never simply as an abstraction or a technical exercise.
