TL;DR: A critique of the new institutionalism in development policy literature can be found in this paper, which highlights the way second generation institutional reform processes in the Latin American region are to be engineered through a politics of global competitiveness while their success is to be gauged, first and foremost, in capital-functional terms.

TL;DR: The authors introduce the contribution made by scholars writing on the "new political economy of scale" and explain how this approach shares with neo-Gramscian approaches a concern with challenging the problematic assumptions of much international political economy theorising.

TL;DR: A world executive committee that has global legitimacy, representing the interests of the vast majority, dealing with longer-term strategic issues has been proposed in this article, with three main tasks: to think seriously about these international issues, monitor what happens, and to crack the whip when progress is not forthcoming and selfish national or parochial interests threaten to delay progress for the common good.

TL;DR: The New Materialist Research Project (NMRP) as discussed by the authors is based on a synthesis of the insights of both open Marxism and Cammack's project, and it is argued that a more rigorously theorised NMRP can extend negative critique to the current activities of international regulative agencies.

TL;DR: Charnock, Purcell and Ribera-Fumaz as discussed by the authors argue that it is of crucial importance to understand the longer-term historical role played within the new international division of labour (NIDL) by relatively late industrialising countries that are today bearing the brunt of crisis and internal devaluation in a 'unified' Europe.
