[AK.IPO] New article - Incorporating China into IPE Teaching

[Johannes Petry]

*apologies for cross-posting*

Dear all,

Muyang Chen and I recently published an article in the /Review of
International Political Economy/ on incorporating China into IPE
Teaching that we think might be of interest to the broader IPE community.

The article provides a roadmap for rethinking the IPE curriculum and
providing students with the conceptual tools and empirical insights to
better understand the 21st-century global economy which is fundamentally
shaped by the rise of China (and other emerging powers).

The article is open access and can be accessed here:

Please find below the details. Comments and questions are always welcome!

All the best,
Johannes Petry & Muyang Chen

Title: What about the dragon in the room? Incorporating China into
international political economy (IPE) teaching

Authors: Muyang Chen & Johannes Petry

Abstract: In recent years, IPE research has increasingly tried to better
understand the nature and implications of China’s rise in a changing
global landscape. However, in IPE teaching, China is often treated as an
afterthought to a familiar transatlantic story. IPE students thereby are
not adequately prepared to explain important developments in the
21st-century global economy, their underlying causes, mechanisms and
particularities. This article provides a roadmap for rethinking the IPE
curriculum. In an initial step, we suggest incorporating more
comparative political economy into the teaching of IPE theories to
create an analytical sensitivity for understanding (Chinese)
state-market relationships that significantly diverge from
Western-centric narratives. In a second step, these conceptual
frameworks should be taken into account when teaching core IPE issue
areas such as finance, development, production and trade, in which we
argue China must be treated as an integral part rather than an outlier
of IPE teaching. Such a revised curriculum, we argue, equips students
with the conceptual tools and empirical knowledge for understanding
diverging domestic institutional configurations of different economies,
and thereby enables students to analyze, compare and critically evaluate
fundamental assumptions and arguments about how the global economy
functions in the context of a rising China.
