Given how far modern macro has moved from these ideas, applying/integrating/adapting these ideas in economics is an important endeavor. I'm hoping it is done while fully acknowledging and appreciating the work in political science it's building on.

Thanks a lot! I agree with you completely on the "rediscovery" problem in economics. In this case, I'm a bit more optimistic. Given the way the world is going, it seems like many of the IPE classics you referenced are essential to doing "standard" international macro.

I think the "Geoeconomics" agenda is about improving our understanding by integrating the insights of IPE with macroeconomics, international economics and other subfields of economics. We can debate if this constitutes a "new age" but I really think it's something new and important.

However, the absence of the these forces in economics has been a major shortcoming of econ research. Integrating these forces into economics theory and using these frameworks to guide empirical research has the opportunity for huge progress. And I don't think this has to end as a subfield of IPE.

AND tariffs should have caused an appreciation.

Congratulations! It’s been so great to see the fantastic work you’ve produced during your PhD, and I’m so happy you’re joining the outstanding group at NYU Stern!
