Entrepreneurship in the International Political Economy: Theory and Policy

Entrepreneurship shapes global economic dynamics, influencing trade, innovation, and power relations among economies and organizations. In the international political economy, entrepreneurship intersects with economic incentives, institutional frameworks, and political governance, where policies, regulations, and geopolitical forces enable or hinder entrepreneurial outcomes. Understanding this relationship requires analyzing theoretical perspectives on markets, states, and global systems, and examining how governments may better foster innovation, manage risk, and compete globally. Examining entrepreneurship highlights its significance as a driver of economic growth, but also as a strategic factor in global development and international competition.
