“…This is Sabaratnam's third avatar of Eurocentrism. Even without knowledge of Arabic, Farsi, or one of the other local languages, authors of IPE textbooks can draw on a growing body of scholarship in English, which engages with local debates on political economy (Frangie, 2016;Neep, 2018;Safieddine, 2020;Salem, 2020;Tripp, 2006). It is these conversations beyond Europe which we should let our students in to.…”

Avatars of Eurocentrism in international political economy textbooks: The case of the Middle East and North Africa

The project to decolonise the curriculum revolves around rethinking margin and centre of the discipline. To the extent that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is at the margin of international political economy (IPE), it is the ideal entry point to decolonise the curriculum. I conduct a summative content analysis of the six most commonly used IPE textbooks. To what extent do they reproduce or challenge Eurocentric tropes in their treatment of MENA? The region is largely absent from IPE textbooks, suggesting it is accorded little agency in the making of the global political economy. To the extent that it is ‘brought in’, it is ‘ghettoised’ in a specialist chapter. A qualitative content analysis suggests the authors avoid overt orientalism but exceptionalise the region as a failure with too little democracy and economic growth and too much war. They acknowledge the role of continued colonialism in these failures but also deny agency of the colonised. They miss an opportunity to de-provincialise the Middle East by fostering ‘ecologies of knowledge’. The article provides an analytical framework for research on how IPE textbooks treat other world regions and of syllabi.

“…Should a crisis only be considered an epoch-making juncture, ‘a strategic moment in the structural transformation of the state’, as International Relations scholar Colin Hay (1999): 331 has put it? Or should it be accepted that not all crises produce great transformations (Neep, 2018)? The very variety of interpretations that are in use underscores the contingency of understandings of ‘crisis’ (Brassett, 2018).…”

The aim of this article is to advance the politico-economic analysis of punishment in contexts of crisis. To this end, the article examines punitive state interventions in the ‘neoliberal heartlands’ of the UK and the US, as set against a backdrop of multidimensional crises that have reconfigured political landscapes, the relationship between labour and capital, and the mode and scope of state punishment. Through a focus on the treatment of socio-economically embedded undocumented migrants, the article highlights the increasingly diffuse punitive repercussions stemming from the growing multi-sectoral, corporate-facilitated surveillance of the labour force.
