Susan Strange (9 June 1923 – 25 October 1998)[1] was a British political economist, author, and journalist who was "almost single-handedly responsible for creating international political economy."[2] Notable publications include Sterling and British Policy (1971), Casino Capitalism (1986), States and Markets (1988), The Retreat of the State (1996), and Mad Money (1998).[3]

She helped create the British International Studies Association. She was the first woman to hold the Montague Burton Professor of International Relations at the London School of Economics and was the first female academic to have a professorship named after her at the LSE.[4]

In 2024, Kings College and the LSE hosted a two-day conference celebrating and debating the continuing relevance of Susan Strange's thinking both in and outside academia.[5]
