A global conversation: rethinking IPE in post-hegemonic scenarios

Lo que importa es la pregunta. Aportes de la Economía Política Internacional en Latinoamérica para el debate en el contexto de crisis de la globalización

“…Mainstream IPE makes a major contribution to scholarly enquiry by opening up the traditional concerns of IR: the interaction of states; the emergence and operation of multilateral institutions; order and stability in the international system, and the position of the United States as a hegemonic power. This differs from traditional IR in that it introduces a concern with economic factors and market rules in a non-Marxist epistemology, and the belief that these are as important, if not more so, than political and military relations (Tussie, Riggirozi, 2015, p.1045 Así la EPI contribuye a "correr un velo de ingenuidad" de las RRII respecto al mercado y a cuestionar nociones statusquistas, como la del orden internacional, a la vez que obliga a poner el foco en las fuerzas transnacionales.…”

“…So too is it important to consider the decreasing influence of the United States in dictating economic policy within Latin America, and the increasing influence of regional autonomy. “Governments' views of the world and their policies reflect geography as much as any other factor,” and Latin American governments are viewing a new world with more regional crafting of economic policy and less dominance of Western corporate entities (Tussie and Riggirozzi 2015, 1050). Not only is the public shaped by the private sector, but Béland (2005) notes that the private sector is shaped by and dependent on public policies.…”

“…Not only is the public shaped by the private sector, but Béland (2005) notes that the private sector is shaped by and dependent on public policies. Business interests and their “centrality is being displaced, as the coordinates that define policies and politics in the global political economy and the corridors of power are reworked by many actors in different geographies” (Tussie and Riggirozzi 2015, 1061).…”

“…Regionalism, too, has spurred a developmentalist agenda that moves away from mostly trade to incorporating rights‐based development (Tussie and Riggirozzi 2015). Regionalism has meant a growth of macroprocesses via state regulation as well as microlevel regionalization among businesses and nonstate actors.…”

“…This is certainly demonstrated by the involvement of civil society actors, especially in Bolivia and Argentina, in shaping extraction policies. While much of international political economy literature looks at how the outside affects the inside, domestic and regional political economy can have an effect on the international political economy (Tussie and Riggirozzi 2015). Domestic and regional actors can be more autonomous and shape their own natural resource policy when states have “insulation from outside pressures” (Cohen 2008, 455).…”
