Recenzje

'The holy troika of IPE thought - Realism, Liberalism, and Marxism - was always deeply suspect. European scholars often saw realism as an American apology for nuclear dominance, while mainstream US scholars never took Marxism seriously. Helleiner shows us the value of moving beyond such tired touchstones to embrace the real diversity of global IPE. Much of what we think of as new - environmentalism, feminism, (post)colonialism - is in fact quite old and well developed outside of the troika texts. To properly engage the debates of today, we need to understand and build upon rich traditions that we have omitted both by design and by default.' Mark Blyth, Brown University
