The richness and diversity of critical IPE perspectives: moving beyond the debate on the 'British School'

There is no abstract, but this is a representative paragraph (from the introduction):

'This chapter seeks to highlight the richness and diversity of ‘critical IPE’. This should be viewed not as a singular but a collective and thus plural term, for although broadly committed to certain modes of inquiring into the world in which we live, critical IPE is defined by open and reflexive research. Therefore, this chapter seeks to outline what we feel has been unduly neglected in the debates which take place in the opening two parts of this volume – that is, the remit of political economy as classically conceived. As Smith, List and Marx at least implicitly agreed, political economy should be concerned with the co-constitution of production and power in order to ascertain the material conditions of existence of human civilizations. Indeed, this means that ‘[p]roduction creates the material basis for all forms of social existence, and the ways in which human efforts are combined in productive processes affect all other aspects of social life’ (Cox 1987: 1).'
