Summary: This book gives provocative responses to recent debates in International Political Economy. It provides a much needed and timely intervention to the current anodyne discussions about the evolution of the discipline and prompts wider reflection on the nature of enquiry itself.
'Cause for celebration: a 'critical' volume on IPE that is worthy of the name. This innovative text is not only a good read but a crucial contribution at a critical moment. It breaks out of stale boxes and sterile debates, asks silenced questions, takes us in new directions, and gets real about being critical.' -- V. Spike Peterson, Professor of International Relations, University of Arizona, USA 'A key strength of this volume is its reflexive and broadly approached understanding of what is critical, which extends to questioning the term itself, and that it poses important questions for further research. I recommend it to scholars in IR and IPE plus those working on social theory and the history of ideas, as well as to postgraduate and PhD students.' -- Ulrich Brand, Chair of International Politics, University of Vienna, Austria "Critical IPE' is commonly criticised as an umbrella term for a head-nodding, self-referential ensemble of Post-Marxists and Post-Structuralists moaning into the void of late capitalism. Shields, Bruff and Macartney correct this depiction and have assembled a range of thoughtful essays, commentaries and polemics to challenge not only the orthodoxy in the field of IPE but also Critical IPE scholars.' -- Leonard Seabrooke, Professor in IPE and Economic Sociology, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark 'A pathbreaking survey of the state of IPE drawing lessons from the past and confronting the challenges of the 21st century.' -- Anastasia Nesvetailova, Reader in IPE, City University London, UK.
