30 YEARS
“The Palgrave IPE series continues to be one of the most authoritative and worthwhile series, offering high-calibre scholarship and incisive analyses of the evolving global political economy.� - Scarlett Cornelissen, Stellenbosch University, South Africa
International Political Economy Series EDITED BY Timothy M. Shaw, University of Massachusetts Boston, USA, and Emeritus Professor, University of London, UK.
The global political economy has been in flux as a series of cumulative crises impact its organization and governance. For over 30 years, the IPE series has tracked its development in both analysis and structure over the last three decades. It has always had a concentration on the global South. Now the South increasingly challenges the North as the centre of development, also reflected in a growing number of submissions and publications on indebted Eurozone economies in Southern Europe. An indispensable resource for scholars and researchers, the series examines a variety of capitalisms and connections by focusing on emerging economies, companies and sectors, debates and policies. It informs diverse policy communities as the established trans-Atlantic North declines and ‘the rest’, especially the BRICS, rise.
“In recent years, the Palgrave IPE Series has not only become the premier outlet for studies on the political economy of the Global South, but increasingly so for those on the Global North as well.” – Andreas Nölke, Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany
“...the first place to go for state of the art research on IPE.” – Shaun Breslin, University of Warwick, UK “Since its inception, Palgrave’s IPE series has published the newest and most innovative research in the field of IPE. Indeed, the series has helped to define the field for the past thirty years… It is an indispensable part of the scholarly landscape.” – Randall Germain, Carleton University, Canada
