In this timely book, Benjamin J. Cohen identifies and analyses a
range of critical pathologies currently afflicting the field of
international political economy (IPE) and offers remedies to
restore the field's vitality. The book addresses the purpose of IPE
as a field of study, highlighting the key questions posed by
scholars since the modern field's inception, and explores how
research seeks to engage with politics in practice. Tackling
contemporary factionalism in the field, chapters consider IPE's
remarkable diversity and fragmentation of research traditions
across the globe and draw attention to the lack of clear methods
and behavioural assumptions established as 'best practice'
internationally. To rejuvenate the field, Cohen argues, reforms are
needed that would both encourage more policy engagement by IPE
scholars and maximize opportunities to enjoy the benefits of the
field's diversity. The book offers a cutting-edge research agenda,
emphasising the need for collaboration across scholarly divides and
the obligations of leading professional associations and societies
to countervail the forces that keep these groups separated. A
powerful critique and a rousing call-to-arms, this book is crucial
reading for scholars of IPE in search of innovative ways to develop
new research and revitalise the field as a whole. It also offers
key insights for students who need to understand the challenges
facing IPE and its potential research trajectories.
