When talking about the origins of International Political Economy (IPE), the traditional form that emerged in the 1970s is mentioned. Under the assumption that economic issues were ignored by the internationalists of that time. This article seeks to disprove this assumption through the case of Leonard Woolf. Through a revisionist historiographical study of Woolf’s writings on imperialism, it is shown that what was experienced was a reactivation of a field of study that had already been present at least since the beginning of the 20th century. Also, the foundations are established for future research on some other intellectuals from the early 20th century, bringing with them an alternative narrative when talking about EPI as a subdiscipline of International Relations.

Keywords : International Political Economy; International Relations; international relations; imperialism; origins.
