Hellenic Institute of Political Economy (H.I.P.E.)

Hellenic Institute of Political Economy

The Hellenic Institute of Political Economy (HIPE) was established in 2023 under the auspices of the Hellenic Association of Political Scientists, with the aim of promoting social welfare through original research and educational activities. It is a pluralistic think tank with an interdisciplinary approach, with economic analysis of the phenomena it examines as its central pillar. The main objective of the Institute is to research and produce studies and policy proposals on issues of National, European and International Political Economy. Among other things, it focuses on issues of economic growth and development, social policy, European economic integration and the process of financialisation. It draws on views and ideas from across the spectrum of economic thought to provide a multifaceted and effective understanding of economic reality.

Goals

HIPE aims to become a leading source of research and policy initiatives on major political economy issues such as sustainable economic growth, globalisation, peace economics, economic integration, unemployment, financial market volatility, central bank policies, living wages and environmental economics.

Overall, the Institute’s main objective is to seek solutions to the “political problem of mankind”, as John Maynard Keynes put it:

“The political problem of mankind is to combine three things: economic efficiency, social justice and individual liberty”.

The main objectives of HIPE are summarised below:

– Research
– Promoting human and environmental well-being in the context of the economic policy dialogue.
– Promoting interdisciplinarity by bringing together economists, political and other social scientists to produce policy proposals
– Education and training of young scientists
