This new and comprehensive volume covering the subfield of
comparative political economy provides a detailed overview over its
intellectual roots, clarifies its contents, and introduces the
readers to key debates while identifying new and exciting avenues
for future research. Ideas, interests, and institutions have
traditionally been the main focus points of this field, but the
volume argues that culture provides an additional and often
neglected area, providing the 'glue' that keeps national models of
capitalism hanging together. The volume also develops pathways
beyond the varieties of capitalism paradigm. Building on a thorough
and rigorous review of comparative capitalisms and a synthesis of
the research strands that have built the bedrock of this subfield,
Comparative Political Economy explores the individual components of
national models of capitalism and argues that these elements
deserve closer scrutiny. Their permutations have been considerable
over the past thirty years, and their study permits valuable
insights both empirically and theoretically. The empirical coverage
of the book includes chapters covering industrial relations, labour
markets, systems of education and training, finance, welfare state,
and debt. In the conclusion, research pathways forward are
identified and the impact of energy security issues and
environmental factors on the study of comparative capitalisms will
be assessed.
