The novel as an artefact of popular culture affords a critical encounter with the production of space for students of international politics and IPE. Departing from prevailing approaches to understanding the urban in relation to the international that tend to focus on networks and circulation, the article offers a reading of the novel as demonstrating the production of space. The article links a critique of the hierarchical relations between teacher and student to critiques of the subordination of labour to design and planning, both of which render invisible the work of producing knowledge and space. Through an analysis of the political struggles over the formal and real subsumption of labour in Perdido Street Station, the article argues that studying the politics of urbanism in relation to the international th...

Major contributions to a heterodox international political economy of finance include the work of Canadians Eric Helleiner (1994) and Randall Germain (1997), each strongly influenced by Cox; in England, critical debate about global finance has been shaped also by the contributions of Philip G. Cerny (1993), Ronen Palan (1999), Tony Porter (1993), and Geoffrey Underhill (1997).

However, while the book examines the constraints imposed by group identities and the possibilities inherent in child development in the family, other important collectivities are not discussed. Thus, when discussing the norms of creativity as prevailing or not in families and examining how ...

For unprotected workers the very lack of institutional protection makes articulating political demands risky. At the same time, the need to conceptualise the manner in which the workers in the households and in proximate forms of social relations of production become political subjects is increasingly urgent. The ...
