Providing an overview of the range and scope of International Political Economy scholarship, this important work maps the different regional schools of IPE and notes the distinctive way IPE is practiced and conceptualized around the world.

The EU institutions must diagnose the crisis that Brexit and Trump have brought to the fore as an economic crisis that is malleable to policy, and they must forcibly sell that diagnosis to the member states if they want to halt the further disintegration of the EU. Doing so would give member states room to experiment with locally appropriate policies rather than simply accept "one size fits none" policy rules. Such a diagnosis would be nothing less than an explicit political intervention by a supposedly technocratic set of institutions. But technocracies work best in good times, and these are not good times.

Few topics have been covered in such depth by academic and popular authors as the topic of Fear Itself: the New Deal and "the origins of our time." Indeed, Ira Katznelson asks: what is left to say, and especially at such length, about such a well-worn furrow? His answer is a lot more than you would think, especially when seen from a rather unusual angle. The clue to that angle lies in the title. Fear Itself is necessarily a big book because Katznelson wants to give us a big picture—not just of the many tortured and unsavory relationships that made the New Deal possible, of dalliances with fascists and alliances with racists and communists, but also of the evolution of the U.S. state and, by extension, of democratic capitalism around the world. Yet more than this, the book is at heart an examination of the role played by fear as a driver of institutional and political change in democratic politics.

This article argues that there is a paradox at the heart of Hall's "Policy Paradigms" framework stemming from the desire to see both state and society as generative of social learning while employing two different logics to explain how such learning takes place: what I term the "Bayesian" and "constructivist" versions of the policy paradigms causal story. This creates a paradox as both logics cannot be simultaneously true. However, it is a generative paradox insofar as the power of the policy paradigms framework emerges, in part, from this attempt to straddle these distinct positions, producing an argument that is greater than the sum of its parts. In the second part of the article, I discuss the recent global financial crisis, an area where we should see third-order change, but we do no not. That we do not strengthens the case for the constructivist causal story. Adapted from the source document.
