The paper frames the ongoing stagnation of Western industrial economies and its political and international implications as central questions for the emerging field of international political economy. The authors draw on recent sophisticated approaches from a special issue of International Organization to analyze the international political economy of the West over the past thirty years.
What explains the continuing stagnation in the industrial economies of the West? What will be the impact of such stagnation upon domestic politics and upon international relations? Are there domestic and foreign policies which the state can undertake to bring about a return to sustained economic prosperity and a recapitulation of that lost golden age of 1948–1973? These are now the central questions for scholars in the emerging field of international political economy. A recent special issue of International Organization , edited by Peter Katzenstein, has presented some of the most useful and sophisticated approaches to these questions and analyses of the international political economy of the West during the period of the last thirty years.
