Comparative Political Economy: States, Markets and Global Capitalism

Autor Ben Clift
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 mar 2014
This major new text introduces the analytical tools required to understand and interpret 21st century advanced capitalism and its evolution in the wake of the global financial crisis. Placing Comparative Political Economy in the context of key concepts and theoretical debates in the long-established field of Political Economy, it maps the terrain, substantive focus and evolution of the comparative approach. Furthermore, it connects Comparative Political Economy systematically to the subfield of International Political Economy (IPE), making the case for cross-fertilisation between these closely related fields. Re-invigorating the debate in the wake of the global financial crisis and the dramatic political interventions that followed, this text offers an entirely fresh and holistic review of comparative political economy.
Ben Clift, a leading figure in the field, rethinks the supposed boundaries between comparative and international political economy, highlighting the how disciplines complement each other in an era where economic activity is increasingly shaped by political and social influence. Upper-level undergraduates and postgraduates studying Comparative Political Economy or a subject related to Political Economy will find this book essential. As the topics and disciplinary themes covered by this text are broad, students of more general Politics or International Relations courses will also be well served by this text.

Recenzii

This is a superb survey of the field of comparative political economy - including its early origins, development over time, and latest cutting-edge research. In this beautifully written book, Ben Clift manages to create genuine intellectual excitement for both aspiring and established political economists.
Comparative Political Economy is an exceedingly erudite book. Clift navigates deftly between classical political economy theory, rival analytical frameworks, and contemporary economic issues. The discussion of current topics, like the financial crisis and political populism, is especially welcome.
Comparative Political Economy provides us with some essential tools for analysing the dynamism and dysfunctionality of capitalist development in all its various forms. Ben Clift's book offers the best introduction to this approach. It places comparative political economy within the 'classical' tradition of Smith, Marx and List before providing an invaluable critical overview of the cutting-edge of the field today. The book is attentive to history and theory while marshalling an impressive breadth of empirical evidence. It will undoubtedly prove to be a key reference point for the next generation of scholars working within the field.
Ben Clift has written the most comprehensive review of comparative political economy I've seen in many years. Classical and modern debates; interest-based and ideational approaches; diverse methodological perspectives, it's all covered. This is a real gem!
Political economy has been too long divided between different schools and approaches. In this path-breaking text Ben Clift shows the potential of an integrated political economy and how comparative and international political economy can complement one another. This is a book which all students of political economy will benefit from reading.
Ben Clift provides a crisp, cogent and compelling introduction to comparative political economy. Theoretically rich, highly perceptive and packed with telling analytical insights he makes the best possible case for the value of comparative political economy today. A must read.
Ben Clift's Comparative Political Economy: States, Markets and Global Capitalism is a wonderfully readable book that provides a clear, concise, and illuminating introduction to comparative political economy, from the theoretical origins to the contemporary realities. Through its insightful analysis of conceptual debates, empirical applications, and methodological approaches, this book fills a very big gap in the comparative political economy literature, providing a text that 'says it all' in ways that students will find not just accessible but also enjoyable to read, and which scholars will cite. Moreover, by emphasizing the central role of ideas while showing how states and markets are intertwined and how comparative political economy and international political economy are interrelated, the book offers a refreshingly innovative and up-to-date way of understanding comparative political economy today.
Every so often, a book comes along that both demands inclusion on student reading lists and takes scholarly debate forward. Comparative Political Economy is one of those rare volumes. Ben Clift writes with clarity, passion and erudition in defence of a political economy that is methodologically pluralist, historically sensitive and wide ranging in its source literature. The result is a masterpiece of exegesis that will gain countless adherents in the classroom. It will also force us, as scholars, to think very seriously about the substance of our field in general and the supposed boundaries between comparative and international political economy in particular.
