<p>I've tried to find answers on google and can't; can anyone try to explain what exactly such a major entails? Is it more focused on macroeconomics and connecting it to politics/polysci? Is it offered at a lot of universities?</p>
<p>Thank you so much.</p>
<p>Is the program just called “Political Economy?”</p>
<p>There is IPE, which looks at the intersect between economics and international relations (trade, monetary policy, etc.)</p>
<p>Then there’s comparative political economy, which focuses more on domestic economic conditions and its political ramifications. </p>
<p>But both of these are sub-subfields within Political Science, which is why I would be a little surprised to find an entire undergrad program devoted to either, or even both. The general must precede the specific.</p>
<p>Edit: Is there a program description? Maybe it’s just a combination of an Economics and a Political Science degree 
Kinda like a PPE?</p>

<p>It deals with the combination of what is possible and what is politically tenable. It can be both. It also deals with what is called “Public Choice” such as examining government investments and attitudes about externalities.</p>
