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,
FranceSince the 1990s many of the assumptions that anchored the
study of governance in international political economy (IPE) have
been shaken loose. Reflecting on the intriguing and important
processes of change that have occurred, and are occurring, Anthony
Payne and Nicola Phillips bring together the best research
currently being undertaken in the field. They explore the complex
ways that the global political economy is presently being governed,
and indeed misgoverned. The Handbook is organized into two fresh
and original parts. In Part I the authors advance their own
distinctive understanding of the international political economy of
governance and thus make important contributions to the next phase
of scholarship. Considering four key themes, they reflect on the
ideological foundations of governance, the levels at which
governance is articulated, the actors involved in governance and
the ethical questions associated with the subject. Part II
addresses the patterns of governance that prevail in particular
issue areas. Invited to consider their contributions in the light
of the four framing themes set out in Part I, these prominent
authors offer key insights into contemporary dynamics in a wide
range of issue areas and consider how their insights can be
mobilized in refreshing the study of governance. Covering all
themes central to the field of politics, this extensive and
detailed Handbook will be of great value to students of governance,
political economy, international relations and development studies.
