Over its long lifetime, "political economy" has had many different
meanings: the science of managing the resources of a nation so as
to provide wealth to its inhabitants for Adam Smith; the study of
how the ownership of the means of production influenced historical
processes for Marx; the study of the inter-relationship between
economics and politics for some twentieth-century commentators; and
for others, a methodology emphasizing individual rationality (the
economic or "public choice" approach) or institutional adaptation
(the sociological version). This Handbook views political economy
as a grand (if imperfect) synthesis of these various strands,
treating political economy as the methodology of economics applied
to the analysis of political behavior and institutions.
This Handbook surveys the field of political economy, with
fifty-eight chapters ranging from micro to macro, national to
international, institutional to behavioral, methodological to
substantive. Chapters on social choice, constitutional theory, and
public economics are set alongside ones on voters, parties and
pressure groups, macroeconomics and politics, capitalism and
democracy, and international political economy and international
conflict.
