Handbook of the International Political Economy of Governance
Since the 1990s many of the assumptions that anchored the study of governance in international political economy have been shaken loose. Reflecting on the intriguing and important processes of change that have occurred, and are occurring, Professors Anthony Payne and Nicola Phillips bring together the best research currently being undertaken in the field. They explore the complex ways that the global political economy is presently being governed, and indeed misgoverned.

Since the 1990s many of the assumptions that anchored the study of governance in international political economy (IPE) have been shaken loose. Reflecting on the intriguing and important processes of change that have occurred, and are occurring, Anthony Payne and Nicola Phillips bring together the best research currently being undertaken in the field. They explore the complex ways that the global political economy is presently being governed, and indeed misgoverned.
The Handbook is organised into two fresh and original parts. In Part I the authors advance their own distinctive understanding of the international political economy of governance and thus make important contributions to the next phase of scholarship. Considering four key themes, they reflect on the ideological foundations of governance, the levels at which governance is articulated, the actors involved in governance and the ethical questions associated with the subject.
Part II addresses the patterns of governance that prevail in particular issue areas. Invited to consider their contributions in the light of the four framing themes set out in Part I, these prominent authors offer key insights into contemporary dynamics in a wide range of issue areas and consider how their insights can be mobilised in refreshing the study of governance.
Covering all themes central to the field of politics, this extensive and detailed Handbook will be of great value to students of governance, political economy, international relations and development studies.

Critical Acclaim
‘This intellectually stimulating Handbook will appeal to anyone with an interest in the spheres of governance, international political economy (IPE), international relations (IR), and political science. . . . the editors promise to generate refreshed debates on governance in IPE through innovative research. Anyone who successfully makes it to the concluding chapter will be thoroughly satisfied that they do deliver on their promise. The volume is dense with detail on both historical and current governance debates, and leaves no stone unturned in its coverage of them. There is no doubt that the main objectives of the book are effectively accomplished. The Handbook of Political Economy on Governance is a celebration of outstanding scholarship and critical thinking. This volume is a must read for scholars in any of the sub-disciplines of IR and IPE who are interested in examining and reexamining common-sense assumptions not only in the realm of governance but other topical issue areas in their respective fields.’
– Geneve Phillip, Caribbean Journal of International Relations & Diplomacy
‘Certainly one of the most inclusive books in international political economy, which successfully combines a strong and very innovative theoretical investigation with a wonderful diversity of case studies. The book is highly pedagogic and particularly meets the expectations of students and educated persons who are short of updated analysis in this field.’
