Sovereign Rules and the Politics of International Economic Law

Sovereign Rules and the Politics of International Economic Law

How ought scholars and students to approach the rapidly expanding and highly multidisciplinary study of international economic law? Academics in the field of international political economy used to take for granted that they worked with the overarching concepts of rules and governance while legal scholars analyzed treaties and doctrines. However over the past twenty years formerly disparate fields of study have converged in a complex terrain where academic researchers and governmental policy analysts use a pluralistic set of theoretical and methodological tools to study the ongoing development of international economic law. This volume argues that the extensive development of international economic law makes it impossible to discuss international political economy and international law as if they were mutually exclusive processes or even as if they were separate and mutually reinforcing. Rather we must think of them as a deeply interconnected set of rapidly evolving activities. This is a paradigm shift in which we cease to think about an international system in which politics and law interact and begin to think about an international system in which politics take place in a legal frame. Froese terms this a shift from politics and law to the politics of international economic law. This book does for political economy what others have already done for law – introduces political scientists economists and other practitioners of IPE to the potential of engaging with legal theory and method; it will be of great interest to scholars in a range of areas including IPE global governance IR and international law. | Sovereign Rules and the Politics of International Economic Law

Neoliberalism and Climate Policy in the United States From market fetishism to the developmental state

Neoliberalism and Climate Policy in the United States From market fetishism to the developmental state

This book explores how Washington’s efforts to act on climate change have been translated under conditions of American neoliberalism where the state struggles to find a stable and legitimate role in the economy and where environmental and industrial policy are enormously contentious topics. This original work conceptualizes US climate policy first and foremost as a question of innovation policy with capital accumulation and market domination as its main drivers. It argues that US climate policy must be understood in the context of Washington’s broader efforts over the past four decades to dominate and monopolize novel high-tech markets and its use of immense amounts of state power to achieve this end. From this perspective many elements of US climate politics that seem confusing or contradictory actually appear to have an obvious and consistent logic. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of IPE as well as individuals generally interested in gaining a stronger understanding of US climate politics and policy and the role and influence of neoliberalism on contemporary economic governance. | Neoliberalism and Climate Policy in the United States From market fetishism to the developmental state

Security Education and Development in Contemporary Africa

Security Education and Development in Contemporary Africa

This volume delineates the critical link among security education and development in Africa and provides a multidisciplinary framework of analyses and possible solutions. Africa has had a long history that embodies layers of mass-scale criminality and exploitation not merely from neocolonial and apartheid policies but also from political greed. This has impacted adversely on security education and development in a way that deprivation of education and underdevelopment in turn re-creates security issues. The volume aims firstly to help augment scholarly inquiry into the nexus among in/security education and development through the multidisciplinary framework of analyses; secondly to provide policymakers and educators with tools and a framework to comprehend the complexity and magnitude of the issues to which they ought to be sensitive and respond; and finally to provide caregivers and childcare agencies of the state a comprehensible framework of underlying multifaceted sources of trauma experienced by children in extraordinary circumstances. It is organized in four sections: theoretical conceptualization on security and development; country cases on security and development; security and educational development; and country cases on security and education. Serving as a significant compass to understand and respond to the complex interplay and impact of security education and development in Africa it is of great use to graduates and scholars interested in Africa Politics IPE security studies and development studies. | Security Education and Development in Contemporary Africa

Reciprocal Landscapes Stories of Material Movements

Reciprocal Landscapes Stories of Material Movements

How are the far-away invisible landscapes where materials come from related to the highly visible urban landscapes where those same materials are installed? Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements traces five everyday landscape construction materials – fertilizer stone steel trees and wood – from seminal public landscapes in New York City back to where they came from. Drawing from archival documents photographs and field trips the author brings these two separate landscapes – the material’s source and the urban site where the material ended up – together exploring themes of unequal ecological exchange labor and material flows. Each chapter follows a single material’s movement: guano from Peru that landed in Central Park in the 1860s granite from Maine that paved Broadway in the 1890s structural steel from Pittsburgh that restructured Riverside Park in the 1930s London plane street trees grown on Rikers Island by incarcerated workers that were planted on Seventh Avenue north of Central Park in the 1950s and the popular tropical hardwood ipe from northern Brazil installed in the High Line in the 2000s. Reciprocal Landscapes: Stories of Material Movements considers the social political and ecological entanglements of material practice challenging readers to think of materials not as inert products but as continuous with land and the people that shape them and to reimagine forms of construction in solidarity with people other species and landscapes elsewhere. | Reciprocal Landscapes Stories of Material Movements

Households and Financialization in Europe Mapping Variegated Patterns in Semi-Peripheries

Households and Financialization in Europe Mapping Variegated Patterns in Semi-Peripheries

Households and Financialization in Europe develops a processual relational and critical transdisciplinary approach to household financialization in Europe utilizing a range of national and local case studies. It does so by drawing on debates in Marxist feminist and radical IPE anthropology and other fields. The book explores the household as simultaneously a micro-level social institution specializing in social reproduction distribution and other activities; a building bloc of larger economic and social structures; and an object of multiple systems of power/knowledge. Putting this conceptualization to use in original research the authors identify geographically and historically situated ways in which financialization transforms households and their relationships with the wider economy and society. The book traces these transformations in case studies of variegated financialization in Eastern and Southern European (semi-) peripheries where households have faced particularly severe financial issues since the global financial crisis such as over-indebtedness and asset devaluation. Key themes recurring throughout the book include: the key role of housing in household financialization the co-constitutive relationship between financialization and social and spatial inequalities specific patterns in the relations of financial actors and households in semi-peripheries and the implications of semi-peripheral forms of real and financial accumulation for household financialization. With its transdisciplinary approach this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of finance financialization household economics international and global political economy uneven development economic anthropology and economic sociology.
