SPERI hosted the workshop in collaboration with the editorial boards of the leading journals, and . The workshop has led to a double special issue of NPE and RIPE on 鈥楤lind spots in International Political Economy鈥.
Today, the has been published in New Political Economy, following the publication of the first Special Issue in RIPE last month. Both Special Issues are co-edited by the organisers of the 鈥榖lindspots鈥 initiative: (海角社区 of Ottawa), Professor Colin Hay (SPERI, 海角社区 of Sheffield), Professor Genevieve LeBaron (SPERI, 海角社区 of Sheffield), and (海角社区 of Amsterdam).
The NPE special issue is entitled, Blind Spots in Political Economy: Revisiting the Historical Foundations of Current Thought.
The abstract for the introduction, 鈥,鈥 is below:
Contemporary political economy is predicated on widely shared ideas and assumptions, some explicit but many implicit, about the past. Our aim in this Special Issue is to draw attention to, and to assess critically, these historical assumptions. In doing so, we hope to contribute to a political economy that is more attentive to the analytic assumptions on which it is premised, more aware of the potential oversights, biases, and omissions they contain, and more reflexive about the potential costs of these blind spots. This is an Introduction to one of two Special Issues that are being published simultaneously by New Political Economy and Review of International Political Economy reflecting on blind spots in international political economy. Together, these Special Issues seek to identify the key blind spots in the field and to make sense of how many scholars missed or misconstrued important dynamics.
. Initially, all articles in both special issues will be available open-access.
