Ukraine, Europe, and the re-routing of Globalization
The dominant Western narrative—now virtually obligatory within its media and foreign policy establishments—asserts that Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 was unprovoked, deriving from domestic political imperatives and messianic imperial nostalgia. Yet, while these factors must be included within a comprehensive causal argument, a deeper and more satisfactory explanation for the invasion situates the predicament of the Russ…
Ukraine, Multipolarity and the Crisis of Grand Strategies
Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine has unleashed the largest and most lethal war on the European continent since 1945. Vladimir Putin and the Russian government bear most of the responsibility for the invasion and its terrible humanitarian consequences. However, explanations for the war deriving from Russian domestic political dynamics or Vladimir Putin’s imperial nostalgia do not provide a comprehensive understanding of the crisis that led to …
German Ordoliberalism and the Future of the EU
Far from enabling France to enhance its power over European monetary policy, the Euro has served to consolidate the Federal Republic of Germany's primacy in Europe. We argue that German policies that have underwritten this primacy are determined not primarily by the ordoliberal ideas of German state managers, but rather because these ideas correspond to the requirements of Germany's neo-mercantilist export model and the interests of its most powe…
The Palgrave Handbook of Critical International Political Economy
Challenging the assumptions of 'mainstream' International Political Economy (IPE), this Handbook demonstrates the considerable value of critical theory to the discipline through a series of cutting-edge studies. The field of IPE has always had an inbuilt vocation within Historical Materialism, with an explicit ambition to make sense, from a critical standpoint, of the capitalist mode of production as a world system of sometimes paradoxically and …
Palgrave Handbook of Critical International Political Economy
The European Union and Global Capitalism: Origins, Development, Crisis
This book draws on critical theory to introduce readers to ways of exploring questions about the EU from a political economy perspective, questions like: — Does the EU help or hinder Europe’s ‘social models’ to face the challenges of globalization? — Does the EU represent a break from Europe’s imperial past? — What were the causes of the Eurozone crisis

European integration studies, European Monetary Union, and resilience of austerity in Europe: Post-mortem on a crisis foretold
Europe’s Economic and Monetary Union was presented in terms of an idealized, teleological narrative of ‘ever closer union’ that obscured substantive conflicts within and among the member states of the eurozone as well as the EU as a whole. Despite its limitations the narrative persisted, because it was instrumentalized by powerful social forces and states and reproduced by the mainstream European studies academic cohort, which was strongly influe…

Can the United States Contain China
What factors account for the increasingly erratic U.S. policy towards China, marked by growing domestic divisions and tensions over means and ends? Can the United States contain China, as called for by its military leaders and a growing segment of corporate America? Or, can the Sino-American rivalry be managed peacefully and without plunging the world into depression? The preoccupation with rhetoric and agency in the analysis of U.S. foreign poli…
The State of the European Community: The Maastricht Debates and Beyond
Class, state, and world systems: The transformation of international maritime relations
Scholars of International Relations have generally presumed the existence of separate and analytically distinct ‘levels of analysis’. For realists and neo‐realists, the state is considered to act more or less independently of domestic social forces, and explanation is sought primarily at the international systemic level, in terms of the imperatives of a given configuration of international power relations. Other theoretical traditions reject the …

The political economy of international shipping: Europe versus America
The political challenge to the post-World War II order in shipping has been issued in the context of the North-South debate, but American power and interest are central to current developments. In the bulk and tanker sector the United States retains a strong interest in stability and successfully defends the existing order. In the liner sector, on the other hand, the United States has participated in recent assaults on the postwar order, producin…
