This comprehensive Handbook presents an overview of the evolution and current state of Comparative Political Economy (CPE). Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it explores the leading theories, main actors, key institutions, policy areas, geographical boundaries and emerging themes in the field.

Leading scholars discuss competing theoretical perspectives, providing an inclusive and pluralist analysis of CPE. They examine under-researched locations and subject areas, delving into detailed case studies on topics such as capitalism in Latin America; the political economy of Chinese development; and capitalism, democracy and development in the newly advanced economies of South Korea, Taiwan and Singapore. Chapters assess the evolution of monetary policy, particularly since the subprime crises, as well as the historical advancement of central banks. They further investigate macroeconomic theory and highlight future directions of research in the rapidly evolving discipline of CPE.

Students and scholars of political economy, comparative politics, economic sociology, organizational studies and non-mainstream economics will greatly benefit from this incisive Handbook. It is also a vital resource for practitioners in business and the economic press.
