This book provides a generous immanent description of liberalism,
but also works against and looks beyond it. It engages liberalism
and its variants in IPE at a moment in time when liberalism and
liberal internationalism are experiencing something of a crisis of
confidence. Though we are deeply critical of liberalism, especially
the variant that dominates in IPE, we picture liberalism as
variegated and rife with doubt and tensions that potentially open
it to traditions of thinking beyond itself. We also show how these
tensions and doubts often prompt attempts at closure in the form of
defensive maneuvers, like Eurocentric conceptions of development
that justify Western dominance and the condemnation of scholarship
that exposes relations of domination and subordination as violating
the precepts of unit-level positive science. But recognizing these
maneuvers as defensive reactions may help us grasp the moments of
greater openness within liberalism that connect to traditions that
think against and beyond its central tenets.
