The 3 I's stand for Ideas, Interests, and Institutions. An important group of concepts in International Political Economy, the 3 I's represent the main countervailing explanation to systemic theories of states' foreign economic policies. Whereas systemic theories affirm that the structure of the international system determines states' foreign economic policies such that international environment matters more than the state's individual characteristics, the 3 I's contend that domestic factors have a greater causal force in determining the state's actions.
