The Routledge Handbook to Global Political Economy provides a comprehensive guide to how Global Political Economy (GPE) is conceptualized and researched around the world. Including contributions that range from traditional International Political Economy (IPE) to GPE approaches, the Handbook gathers the investigations, varying perspectives and innovative research of more than sixty scholars from all over the world. Providing undergraduates, postgraduates, teachers and researchers with a complete set of traditional, contending and regional perspectives, the book explores current issues, conceptual tools, key research debates and different methodological approaches taken. Structured in five parts methodologically correlated, the book presents GPE as a field of global, regional and national research: • historical waves and diverse ontological axes; • major theoretical perspectives; • beyond traditional perspectives; • regional inquiries; • research arenas. Carefully selected contributions from both established and upcoming scholars ensure that this is an eclectic, pluralist and multidisciplinary work and an essential resource for all those with an interest in this complex and rapidly evolving field of study.

This book offers an in-depth examination of the historical, political, and socio-cultural dimensions of psychoactive substance use, particularly within the Brazilian context. It provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of policies and approaches towards prohibitionism and criminalization, emphasizing their impact on marginalized and socially stigmatized groups. Through a comparative lens, it explores alternative regulatory models, exemplified by Uruguay's Cannabis legalization trajectory. Additionally, the work critically examines the complex interplay between gender, media representations, and illicit drug trafficking, shedding light on the intricate dynamics involved. Central to its discourse are preventive strategies and harm reduction interventions, which underscore the pivotal role of education, neuroscience, and community-based approaches in addressing substance use among adolescents. Drawing from diverse disciplinary perspectives, including neuroscience, psychology, and public health, the book offers a comprehensive understanding of substance use and dependence. By synthesizing research findings and evidence-based practices, it serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, healthcare professionals, educators, and researchers engaged in addiction studies, mental health, and public policy formulation.

A new and illuminating critical examination of international relations in Europe. This new volume presents all of the state of the art thinking, focusing particularly on international relations theory and theoretical debates in Western and Central European countries. The contributors seek to strengthen knowledge about different ways of cultivating the discipline; to intensify pan-European communication concerning IR theory; to contribute to improving the quality of theorizing; and finally to consider future directions for the discipline in Europe. The main issues addressed include: the historical development of the discipline; factors driving IR theorizing; the institutional and cultural context of theorizing; 'homegrown' theory-building vs. theory import; patterns of traditional and new discourse; and the diversity of disciplinary traditions.

Global Governance from Regional Perspectives argues that the academic debate on global governance has neglected the combination of power with value constellations/culture. Both input and output legitimacy, for instance, or the exercise of control and influence are inextricably related to culture, worldviews, and values. The book questions theoretically the Western hegemonic and hence 'invisible' definition of governance and related concepts, as well as the Western hegemony over global governance institutions. It looks from the ground up whether, and how, alternative practices, institutions/networks, and concepts/norms of global governance are emerging in relation to emerging powers and regional integration systems. Global Governance from Regional Perspectives starts with a critical reading of global governance from multi-disciplinary views and engages with two important and under-studied aspects, notably how global governance can be measured and what lies behind such measurements, and questions the democratic deficit of global governance. The book provides a series of regional and country perspectives on global governance which engage with a specific example of an institution, process, or issue that is used to highlight why and how the western hegemonic views and practices of global governance are (or not) contested. The book offers a mapping of global governance phenomena in different regions of the world and a critical readings of those. As such this volume is different from all international relations or political science collections on global governance and also opens up a new field of study that has been hitherto neglected in sociological or cultural studies.

Long-lasting peaces: overcoming the war-peace hiatus for a sustainable future is composed by seven chapters distributed in 3 parts destined to provoke reflections about a common theme: the existent obstacles and plausible solutions to achieve sustainable peaces. Each one of the articles discusses, in a critical perspective, important issues of the international agenda. Among the matters it can be found: the participation of belligerent actors as a means to an effective peace accord, the contradiction between structural violence and formal peace in South America, the promotion of women equity in peace processes, ethnic tensions and the achievement of peace through justice, new perspectives on food security and its impacts on refugees and IDPs, environmental commitments to lessen climate change, and mechanisms for socioeconomic human development.
