“…Frieden and Lake 2003, Cohen 2007, Higgott and Watson 2009, Maliniak and Tierney 2009, Weaver 2009, it is widely agreed that core rationalist assumptions have shaped a significant body of work through the history of the sub-field. By briefly reviewing the neo-realist, neo-liberal, and principal-agent (PA) approaches to understanding issues of control in and around IOs, I both provide a snapshot of this important strand of literature and draw out the insights that are used to inform the understanding of the dynamics of control surrounding the World Bank and IMF's concessional lending activities in this study.…”

“…Years earlier, Simmons and Martin (1998, 746) noted the importance of these questions to the role of international institutions: "Normative questions also 2009, 22-3). 1 Regionally, the authors found that IPE scholarship focused more on developed countries, with 35% of articles on cases from Canada and Western Europe and 29% on data and cases from East Asia (Maliniak and Tierney 2009). Beyond perceptions of strategic importance, the findings also seem to reflect disciplinary biases and incentive structures that may dissuade IPE scholars from engaging with the Middle East.…”

International Political Economy and the New Middle East

Q uestions about the economy were undeniably at the heart of the Arab uprisings. The clearest and most iconic expression of this was relayed in chants demanding "bread, freedom, and social justice" that echoed throughout public squares in the Arab world in 2011. For many in the region, this expression reflected deep frustration with declining living standards, diminished opportunity, corruption, and-ultimately-the organization of the economy by authoritarian regimes. In the months thereafter, many scholars turned their attention toward understanding how economics mattered in the uprisings, raising fascinating questions about the interplay of processes linking the region's economies with that of the international: the effects of globalization, changes in commodity prices, perceptions of inequality, the role of remittances, and the effects of neoliberal reform policies, among others.Inquiries into economic causes also opened a door to challenging questions about the motivations and role of international and regional actors in aiding and, in some cases, containing the political transitions that would follow. The uprisings may have represented a euphoric moment for citizens in the region but, for others, it represented a rupture and threat to their respective interests in the existing regional order. Expressions of support for the uprisings from donor governments and organizations often were suffused with apprehension about the best way to assist emerging and, in some cases, unknown political actors in an enormously fluid political environment. For other actors, that apprehension reflected an explicit fear that new political forces might jeopardize their own commercial and strategic interests in the region.Six years have passed since the uprisings began and it is striking to note how little these questions about the economy and the structure of economic power in the region are discussed by scholars and analysts. The economic centrality of the uprisings was largely ignored and, in some respects, misunderstood by the literature on international political economy (IPE), the subdiscipline of international relations (IR) concerned with questions of power and wealth in the international system. IPE as a field has evolved considerably in the last three decades, embracing different approaches to explore the interaction between politics and economics, states and markets, globalization, multilateral institutions and corporations, and trade, among others. Yet, whereas foundational works in IPE enhanced our understanding of dimensions of the global economy, its engagement with the Middle East has been limited. The region's absence from the conversation of mainstream IPE is particularly striking since 2011.Why does this matter? The consequence of this exclusion is ultimately an incomplete view of the global economy that impairs our ability to understand the complex political and economic changes currently unfolding in the region. The path of recent transitions in the Middle East raises critical questions about the nature of shif...

“…Our analysis is inductive and uses community detection techniques to assess the presence of intellectual communities within IPE. Previous empirical work by Maliniak and Tierney assessed the 'paradigms' within IPE, dividing scholarship into realist, liberal, Marxist, constructivist, non-paradigmatic theoretical categories over time (Maliniak and Tierney 2009). Our analysis does not attempt to quantify the existence or trajectory of these paradigms but rather seeks to generate intellectual communities from the ground-up.…”

“…While we are notably limited to English-speaking scholarship, our data includes IPE as it is taught in 16 different countries, and we analyze professional backgrounds and teaching styles as they flow across countries. Existing studies of trends within IPE scholarship to date, such as Maliniak and Tierney's study of trends within IR and IPE scholarship using TRIP data, have been limited to the USA, Australia, and Canada (Maliniak and Tierney 2009;Maliniak, Powers and Walter 2013;Maliniak, Peterson and Tierney 2012).…”

“…Our list broadly captures the diversity within the IPE field while also restricting this list to a small number of journals that are best representative of the field. Previous work by Maliniak and Tierney used a set of 12 journals that publish articles in the subfield of IR, and coded those articles that were deemed to be IPE in a subset of these articles (Maliniak and Tierney 2009). We chose not to use such a 'top list' of IR journals for two reasons.…”

Review of International Political Economy

We analyze the organizational logics of how social clustering operates within International Political Economy (IPE). Using a variety of new data on IPE publishing, teaching, and conference attendance, we use network analysis and community detection to understand social clustering within the field. We find that when it comes to publishing and intellectual engagement, IPE is highly pluralistic and driven by a logic of 'niche proliferation'. Teaching IPE, however, is characterized by a 'reduction to polarity' that emphasizes a dualism in ontological and epistemological frames. In the face of competitive exclusion pressures, intellectual communities regenerate themselves by constructing niches while simultaneously nodding to a common tradition.
