Abstract

This paper examines the thinking of Robert Gilpin, considered the "dean" of specialists in "International Political Economy", also the name of his well-known work of 1987. In this century, Gilpin takes up the analysis of the interactions between politics and economics, the State and market, in two essays in which he applies his principles to the era of globalization. Gilpin is located in a "realist state-centric" perspective, in an original aspect of this theory that recognizes new actors - such as multinational corporations - and the need for cooperation. The central thesis is that the "nation-state" continues to be the dominant actor in the international system, despite the centrality of globalization "as a definitive characteristic of the international economy."
