Description
Book SynopsisSince the 1990s many of the assumptions that anchored the study of governance in international political economy (IPE) have been shaken loose.
Trade Review‘This intellectually stimulating Handbook will appeal to anyone with an interest in the spheres of governance, international political economy (IPE), international relations (IR), and political science. . . . the editors promise to generate refreshed debates on governance in IPE through innovative research. Anyone who successfully makes it to the concluding chapter will be thoroughly satisfied that they do deliver on their promise. The volume is dense with detail on both historical and current governance debates, and leaves no stone unturned in its coverage of them. There is no doubt that the main objectives of the book are effectively accomplished. The Handbook of Political Economy on Governance is a celebration of outstanding scholarship and critical thinking. This volume is a must read for scholars in any of the sub-disciplines of IR and IPE who are interested in examining and reexamining common-sense assumptions not only in the realm of governance but other topical issue areas in their respective fields.’ -- Geneve Phillip, Caribbean Journal of International Relations & Diplomacy
‘Certainly one of the most inclusive books in international political economy, which successfully combines a strong and very innovative theoretical investigation with a wonderful diversity of case studies. The book is highly pedagogic and particularly meets the expectations of students and educated persons who are short of updated analysis in this field.’ -- Bertrand Badie, Sciences Po, France
