Description

The book gathers together a set of lively, provocative essays by leading voices in International Political Economy to debate the evolution of the field, its current state and its future directions.

Prompted by recent commentaries on the existence of a 'transatlantic divide' in IPE between an 'American school' and a 'British school', the essays provide a wide-ranging discussion of whether it is useful to think of the field in these terms, what the 'American' and 'British' schools look like, what their achievements and shortcomings are, and what are the desirable future directions for IPE scholarship. The diverse responses to these questions reflect the ongoing vibrancy and diversity of the field of IPE, and open up an imaginative and engaging discussion about where we need to go from here.

Featuring contributions from the most influential scholars in the field from North America, Canada and the UK, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the cutting edge debates in contemporary international political economy.

Reviews

"This book captures the best contributions to the absorbing conversation that IPE has had with itself over the past few years about its origins, achievements and identity. It is essential reading for everybody interested in this important and growing part of the intellectual landscape of the contemporary social sciences." - Anthony Payne, University of Sheffield, UK

"This is an excellent book, edited by Phillips and Weaver, two of the field's rising stars and increasingly prominent voices of measured, productive debate. Phillips and Weaver have framed the controversy over the transatlantic divide in IPE with a smart, thoughtful introduction and brought together an outstanding collection of essays on the state of IPE. The editors have produced a volume of required reading for the next several generations of students and scholars." - Rawi Abdelal, Harvard Business School, USA

What is the current state of the study of international political economy? Why are scholars so divided in their views on the appropriate methods to study IPE? With papers from many of the leading scholars in the field, this important volume addresses these questions and suggests how the study of IPE should best be pursued in the future. - John Ravenhill, The Australian National University, Australia

This collection will be an invaluable resource for those scholars and students interested in understanding the recent debates around geographical and theoretical divides in IPE-as well as for those who seek to question them. - Jacqueline Best, University of Ottawa, Canada

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
