International Political Economy

"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
