Session Description

The publication of this ambitious new volume provides an opportunity for a distinguished set of panelists to consider the promise, pathways, and potential obstacles to a robust field of American Political Economy within political science. By “American political economy,” the volume's contributors mean political science scholarship that focuses on the interaction of markets and government in the United States, whatever its method. On this panel, the volume’s editors and a group of distinguished discussants consider how such work could illuminate the dramatic
transformation of America’s distinctive political economy over recent decades while reorienting political science in productive directions.
