長久以來，經濟民族主義和自由主義與馬克思主義被認為是國際政治經濟學的三大典範，但是，相對於自由主義和馬克思主義，以經濟民族主義為基礎的研究始終相當有限。為彌補此一學科發展的缺漏，並延續近來學者對於經濟民族主義的重新關注，本文重新檢視經濟民族主義的內涵，發現經濟民族主義的內涵為實現經濟自主，既未必與自由開放相互對立，更可包容諸多政策選項，其核心乃為追求民族建立的意識形態對經濟政策的指導。本文同時發現，作為一種研究途徑，經濟民族主義有兩種可能的研究途徑，分別是實證主義的因果關係研究途徑和後實證主義的建構關係研究途徑。藉由對此二方面文獻的檢討，本文提出包含對象、工具、和分配三個次級問題的整合性研究架構。

For a long time, Economic Nationalism has been seen as one of the three paradigms in IPE alongside with Liberalism and Marxism. In contrast to Liberalism and Marxism, however, Economic Nationalism has seen very little research done within its theoretical domain. In order to narrow this gap in IPE scholarship and to follow up on a recent trend of growing scholarly attention on this subject, this paper revisits the literatures of economic nationalism and explores possible analytical approaches. By doing so, this paper realizes that the core assertion of economic nationalism is to secure economic autonomy, which refutes the dichotomy between economic liberalism and economic nationalism and argues that a variety of economic policies are compatible with this assertion. The defining nature of economic nationalism is nation-building through economic policies. This paper finds that there are two approaches to research on economic nationalism, one being a positivist causal study and the other a post-positivist constitutive study. In combination of the two approaches, this paper develops an integral analytic framework consisting of three aspects of problematique: targets, instruments, and distribution as a tentative conclusion.
