Routledge Handbook of International Political Economy (IPE) Routledge Handbook of International Political Economy (IPE) This handbook gives an overview of the range and scope of International Political Economy (IPE) scholarship by mapping the different regional schools of IPE and noting the distinctive way IPE is practiced and conceptualized around the world. It is intended to serve as a critical survey of, not just the field of IPE in terms of its theories and results, but of those claims about the field made by IPE scholars themselves. Providing a clear and coherent structure, the book is split into four parts: & Part I: North American IPE & Part II: British IPE & Part III: IPE in Asia & Part IV: IPE elsewhere—exemptions, exclusions, and extensions These sections map out the contending approaches and key concerns that exist within each regional school and include chapters tackling key areas of IPE scholarship such as trade and development, finance, and global governance/globalization. Each chapter is an attempt to understand IPE by seeing how differently placed IPE scholars, by virtue of geography, intellectual history, personal training, and socialization, talk about the IPE and think about their subject. With over twenty contributors from a wide range of countries, the Routledge Handbook of International Political Economy is an essential resource for all those with an interest in this complex and rapidly evolving field of study. Mark Blyth is Associate Professor of Political Science at Johns Hopkins University.

Taking Craig Fowlie’s idea of doing an IPE textbook and turning it into something completely dif- ferent; a global tour of IPE has, like most global tours, been both taxing and exciting. It has also been a long time coming. In that regard I would like to thank all the con- tributors to this volume not only for their copy, but for their patience. The result of this collective endeavor is a volume that I hope will serve as a useful orienting point of reference for the field for some time to come. Needless to say some readers will object that certain positions and perspectives are missed out. I can only say in my defense that many more people were asked to contribute than actually did, so if something isn’t here and you think that it should be, I can tell you who to blame. In the meantime, I hope that you enjoy the conversation. Mark Blyth Baltimore, August 2008 Introduction International political economy as a global conversation Mark Blyth Introduction What you hold in your hands is not a textbook. Or, at the very least, it’s a rather unusual textbook. Most textbooks start off with a declarative. That such-and-such field of study is defined by parameters A and B, which is in turn best studied by methods P and Q. In this way boundaries are set, and what is “in” and what is “out” of the field of study in question, in terms of theories, topics, etc., is established. International Political Economy (IPE) textbooks have from the field’s inception attempted to do something similar; to define what IPE is and hence how it should be studied. For example, in many ways the original textbook of IPE, at least in the United States, was Robert Gilpin’s magisterial The Political Economy of International Relations (1987). In this work Gilpin defines IPE as “a set of questions to be examined by means of an eclectic mixture of analytic methods and theoretical perspectives” (1987: 9). Thirteen years later Jeffrey Frieden and David Lake (eds.), in their International Political Economy: Perspectives on Global Power and Wealth (2000: 1); define IPE as “the interplay of economics and politics in the world arena.” However, these seemingly quite open statements of intent belie what became a rather uniform way of answering these questions.

    11/21/2016 Global Trumpism Home > Global Trumpism Tuesday, November 15, 2016 Global Trumpism Why Trump’s Victory Was 30 Years in the Making and Why It Won’t Stop Here Mark Blyth Mark Blyth is Eastman Professor of Political Economy at Brown University. Trump’s victory was predictable [1], and was predicted [2], but not by looking at polls. Polling has taken a beating recently having failed to predict the victory of David Cameron’s Conservative Party in the British general elections [3], then Brexit [4], and now the election of Donald Trump [5]. One can argue about what’s wrong with the methods involved, but more fundamentally what polls do is to treat these phenomena as isolated events when they are in fact the product of a common set of causes 30 years in the making. There are two issues at play here. The first is known as Galton’s problem, after Sir Francis Galton, the inventor of much of modern statistics. Galton’s problem is that when we treat cases as independent—the British election, Brexit, the U.S. election—they may not actually be independent. There may be links between the cases—think of Brexit’s Nigel Farage showing up at Trump's rallies [6]—and there could be subtler contagion [7] or mimicry [8] effects in play as information from one case “infects” the other, changing the dynamics of the system as a whole. Could there then be a higher set of drivers in the global economy [9] pushing the world in a direction where Trump is really just one part of a more global pattern of events? Consider that there are many Trumpets blowing around the developed world, on both the right and the left.

E-mail: [email protected]. Website: www.jordanbrennan.org. Contents Executive Summary 2 Acknowledgments 4 List of Figures 5 Part I: Corporate Concentration, Secular Stagnation, and the Growing Income Gap 6 Part II: Labor Unions, Inflation, and the Making of an Inclusive Prosperity 24 Appendix 48 References 51 1 Executive Summary The rise of income inequality amidst the deceleration of GDP growth must rank as two of the most perplexing and challenging problems in contemporary American capitalism. Comparing 1935–80 with 1980–2013—that is, the Keynesian-inspired welfare regime and, later, neoliberal globalization—the average annual rate of GDP growth was more than halved and income inequality went from a postwar low in 1976 to a postwar high in 2012. How do we account for this double-sided phenomenon? The conventional explanations of secular stagnation and elevated inequality are inadequate, largely because mainstream (“neoclassical”) economics rejects the notion that the amassment and exercise of institutional power play a role in the normal functioning of markets and business. This analytical inadequacy has left important causal elements outside the purview of researchers, policymakers, and the public at large. This two-part analysis investigates some of the causes and consequences of income inequality and secular stagnation in the United States.

The Buy-to-Build Indicator: New Estimates for Britain and the United States Joseph Francis* London School of Economics www.joefrancis.info March 2013 This note presents new long-term estimates of what Jonathan Nitzan and Shimshon Bichler (2002: 53-4, 82-3; 2009: Ch.15) have named the ‘buy-to-build indicator’, which is calculated as the value of mergers and acquisitions as a percentage of gross capital form- ation. Estimating the buy-to-build indicators is not simple, principally due to the absence of consistent series for expenditure on mergers and acquisitions. Nevertheless, as this note describes, it has proven possible to calculate them for both Britain and the United States. For Britain, the new estimates build principally on the research of the Leslie Hannah, as well as official government statistics, while for the United States, they repres- ent significant revisions of Nitzan and Bichler’s own original estimates.

  • A Casp Model of the Stock Market Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan1
    A CasP Model of the Stock Market Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan1 Jerusalem and Montreal, November 2016 bnarchives.net / Creative Commons Abstract Most explanations of stock market booms and busts are based on contrasting the underlying ‘fundamental’ logic of the economy with the exogenous, non-economic factors that presumably distort it. Our paper offers a radically different model, examining the stock market not from the mechanical viewpoint of a distorted economy, but from the dialectical perspective of capital- ized power. The model demonstrates that (1) the valuation of equities represents capitalized power; (2) capitalized power is dialectically intertwined with systemic fear; and (3) systemic fear and capitalized power are mediated through strategic sabotage. This triangular model, we posit, can offer a basis for examining the asymptotes, or limits, of capitalized power and the ways in which these asymptotes relate to the historical and ongoing transformation of the cap- italist mode of power. 1. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to outline a capital-as-power, or CasP, model of the stock market. There are two reasons why such a model is needed: first, the stock market has become the main compass of the capitalist mode of power; and, second, so far, we have not developed a CasP theory to describe it.2 Surprising as it may sound, all long-term modeling of the stock market derives from a single meta-dogma that we have previously dubbed the ‘mismatch thesis’ (Bichler and Nitzan 2009, 2015a). The basic premise of this dogma is the general bifurcation between economics and politics (a shorthand for all non-economic realms of society) and the further division, within economics, between the so-called ‘real’ and ‘nominal’ spheres.

  • Casp's 'Differential Accumulation Versus Veblen's '
    WORKING PAPERS ON CAPITAL AS POWER No. 2018/08 CasP’s ‘Differential Accumulation versus Veblen’s ‘Differential Advantage’ Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan November 2018 http://www.capitalaspower.com/?p=2557 CasP’s ‘Differential Accumulation’ versus Veblen’s ‘Differential Advantage’ Shimshon Bichler and Jonathan Nitzan1 Jerusalem and Montreal November 2018 bnarchives.net / Creative Commons (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) 1. Introduction This paper clarifies a common misrepresentation of our theory of capital as power, or CasP. Many observers tend to box CasP as an ‘institutionalist’ theory, tracing its central process of ‘differential ac- cumulation’ to Thorstein Veblen’s notion of ‘differential advantage’ (Cf. 1904, 1923). This view, we argue, betrays a misunderstanding of CasP, Veblen or both. As we show below, CasP’s notion of dif- ferential accumulation is not only different from, but also diametrically opposed to Veblen’s differential advantage. Our argument is articulated in several steps. Section 2 outlines the key claims of CasP, contrasting them with those of received theory and articulating the way in which they relate and lead to our concept of differential accumulation. Sections 3 and 4 examine Veblen’s twin concepts of strategic sabotage and differential advantage, showing that the latter is concerned not with differential profit, but with the earning of profit as such. Section 5 develops this claim further, demonstrating that Veblen’s analysis of accumulation, hostage to neoclassical absolutes, understood capitalists as seeking not differential profit, but maximum profit. Section 6 examines the historical context in which Veblen was writing, suggesting that this backdrop made it practically impossible for him to conceive – let alone theorize and measure – differential accumulation, even if he had wanted to.

  • Learning and Change in Twentieth-Century British Economic Policy* By
    Center for European Studies Working Paper No. 109 Learning and Change in Twentieth-Century British Economic Policy* by Michael J. Oliver Hugh Pemberton Bates College London School of Economics Dept. of Economics and Political Science Pettengill Hall, Room 271 Houghton Street Lewiston, ME 04240-6028 London UK e-mail: [email protected] WC2A 2AE e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Despite considerable interest in the means by which policy learning occurs, and in how it is that the framework of policy may be subject to radical change, the “black box” of economic policymaking remains surprisingly murky. This article utilizes Peter Hall’s concept of “social learning” to develop a more sophisti- cated model of policy learning; one in which paradigm failure does not necessarily lead to wholesale paradigm replacement, and in which an administrative battle of ideas may be just as important a determinant of paradigm change as a political struggle. It then applies this model in a survey of UK economic policymaking since the 1930s: examining the shift to “Keynesianism” during the 1930s and 1940s; the substantial revision of this framework in the 1960s; the collapse of the “Keynesian-plus” framework in the 1970s; and the major revisions to the new “neo-liberal” policy framework in the 1980s and 1990s. *The authors would like to thank Mark Blyth, Alan Booth, Francesco Duina, Mark Garnett, Ian Greener, Peter Hall, Rodney Lowe, Roger Middleton, Peter Wardley, and Mark Wickham-Jones for their advice and for their constructive criticisms during the development of this article. They are also indebted to participants at the 2001 European Association for Evolutionary Political Economy Conference, and have welcomed the opportunity to present the arguments developed in this paper to seminars held at Bates College, Colby College, Denison University, Harvard University and the University of Bristol.
