International Political Economy Series

This book contributes to the current revival of dependency approaches for the analysis of global capitalism. Reflecting on contemporary uses of the &quote;Dependency Research Program&quote; (DRP) and a refined analytical toolkit, it makes two distinctive contributions to this revival: the analysis of new &quote;situations of dependency&quote;, and the understanding of the &quote;mechanisms of dependency&quote;. The individual chapters draw from a wide range of cases and data from Latin America and Europe and imbricate concepts and ideas from the DRP with those of other approaches, from post-Keynesian economics to structural economics, institutional economics, regulation theory, comparative capitalisms, business politics, economic geography and critical finance studies, providing a rich array of possibilities for virtuous inter-disciplinary cross-fertilization. This volume is a valuable contribution for those interested in understanding how global capitalism works in Latin America, Europe and beyond.
